My Expy has the same problem. You shift it to gear (drive or reverse) then wait for seems like sometimes up to 2 seconds before it kicks into gear. I haven't checked the tranny fluid since I bought it six months ago, so I should probably do that, but I'd like to know how to fix this also.

My 1997 F-150 S/C 4X4 also takes 1 second to engage the gear when shifted. Always thought it was normal.
