2004 - Transmission

I had a rather strange occurrence that so far, has only happened once but I am still concerned. Several months ago, I had the addive added to the tranny fluid to prevent the harsh reverse engagement. That has worked very well. However, last night I pulled into a friends driveway to turn around, backed down the driveway (reverse engagement was smooth), got into the street and switched into drive. Nothing harsh about it until I started to press the gas and found NOTHING happening for a few seconds. I looked to be sure it wasn't in neutral, which it wasn't and then, all of a sudden a bang and it started to go forward. Has anyone had something similar where it doesn't switch to drive right away?

what additive are you referring to to smoothen out the shift into reverse ?
