Its possible that linkage would cause hesitation. One thing I forgot was fluid level. Have you checked it. You tranny fluid could be down some. That would cause your hesitation in shifting. Check the level and also look at fluid, is it really nasty looking. If it is may be time for a change. This wouldn't have much affect on moving when in Park, sense that is done, manually. That why I mentioned linkage. A quick check on linkage would be if your indicator for your gear shift. When you shift from one gear to the other does the dial line up with the letter or is it off some? If your fluid needs changing I would recomend a transmission transfusion. It not only changes your fluid but flushes out your whole transmission and replaces all fluid not just the fluid in the pan. It can be expensive. But it removes alot more junk from the tranny. Hope that this helps. Pete
