Possibly partially clogged filter. I would suggest you have the fluid and filter changed. If this does not help, time to visita professional transmission tech. Do not flush the system if it has been neglected and not serviced every 36,000 miles. Just drain and refill.

Why is your auto transmission slow to engage?
Low fluid level if your lucky.
Transmission on your dodge ram is slow to engage when it is cold?
There is a service bulletin out on this problem (NUMBER: 21-015-05, GROUP: Transmission, DATE: September 01, 2005). It seems that fluid will drain from the torque converter after the vehicle sets awhile causing the slow to engage problem. According to Dodge, while it causes customer concern, it is not detrimental to the transmission. There is a new version of a transmission cooler filter which when installed mitigates the problem.

How do you know when the clutch is bad on your washing machine?

What is A torque converter?
a major part of an automatic transmission... A torque converter is what couples the engine to the transmission. It acts a little bit like a clutch and allow the engine to drive the transmission. At slow engine speeds, like at idle, it slips so the engine will not stall while the transmission is in gear. As engine speed (RPM) increases it allows the engine to drive the transmission. This is just the basic idea of what a torque converter does.

What cause your car to drive slow can it be the transmission?
This is a very general and vague question. What do you mean by slow? Does it feel like there is something inhibiting it, like having the parking brake on? Does the engine sputter or knock? What other symptoms does the car have?
What causes a 1996 V6 Ford Contour to run slow and high rpm?
Running slow with high rpm is a sign of slippage. If the vehicle is a straight drive then the clutch is not grabbing and is slipping, if its an automatic then the transmission is slipping internally.
Can you shift the gears in automatic transmission cars even when the car is not running?
You can move the lever. But without pressure from the transmission fluid pump run by the engine, the only thing that will happen is the park latch locking and unlocking the drive shaft. Incidentally, this is why you don't stop the engine when trying to stop without brakes. Without pressure from the pump, the transmission shifts into neutral, no matter where the gearshift lever is. Instead shift down one gear at a time, letting engine braking slow the car. Then turn uphill and shift into park when the car comes to rest.
How slow can a car go in Top Gear?
That's going to depend on the final drive ratio of the transmission, the rear end ratio of the axles, and the dimensions of the tires. In the case of an automatic transmission, it'll also be dependent on the ECM settings.
Should you drive with your over drive on in my ford?
This is a good question. The answer is YES. The transmission with overdrive will run properly if just left alone. It will shift when needs to, even in the city. NOW, if you are towing a trailer and do not have a tow package, then take the overdrive OFF, the transmission will run cooler with the o/drive off. Keeping o/drive on pulling a trailer can burn the trans. by overheating, this is a fact, even with a trans. cooler. If you live in the North with the weather conditions that we have, then when you are driving in snow, you can put the transmission in drive, with o/drive off, it will help slow the car down a little.
Where should a slow driver drive?
