Trany issue- Name?

[Russell]

What is it called when your trany sits for a couple of days, then put it in reverse and it does not engage for a second or so? I cannot remmember, therefore I cannot do an archive search :) Mine did it today. It so did it once about 18 months ago. It seems to have something to do with seals.

TIA

Uh - thanks Bill. Digital "memory" is great. Apparently better than my own "real" memory. :) Looks like all I need to do is drive the car every day!
