I've been driving my uncle's '95 Accord lately (85k miles) and noticed that when I shift to D or R, it takes awhile for it to engage.
For instance, if I'm backing out of the driveway, I put it in reverse, let go of the brake, and it sits there for 2-3 seconds and then you'll feel it "kick into" reverse.
Or if I'm on a hill, and I go from P -> D, it'll roll back a little (as if it was in neutral) and then go forward.
Is this normal as the tranny gets older? Because I don't remember it happening when the car was newer.
(but it happens on my sister's newer '99 Protege (35k miles), but not as exaggerated as the Accord)
And I also don't feel it on my '95 Sentra (65k miles) or my mom's '94 Quest (75k miles).
Heh, the Nissan's are free from this problem
