Unhappy 1995 explorer shift delay

when put in D there is 1.8 - 2 second delay. Shift is very smooth (you can barely feel it). Transmission service done but no change.
What could be wrong?

How many miles are on it? Does it do it when hot? Is the fluid full? Prob the seals are hard letting pressure go past them. Pour a half pint of brake fluid in it and save for an overhaul. The brake fluid will swell the seals.

Yes I meant put brake fluid in the trans. I does the same thing all those trans conditioners do. One half pint should do the trick but it's only temporary. Start saving for an overhaul.
