1997 Wrangler Automatic Transmission Slipping

I was wondering if anyone might have an idea of what would be causing
the automatic transmission on a 97 Wrangler to slip sometimes. When I
am starting from a stop at a light or in a parking lot the transmission
sometimes takes a couple seconds to slip into gear, even though the
stick in the drive position. The mechanic I took it to said that they
couldn't diagnose it without pulling it entirely apart, for which they
were going to charge at least $3000, but they are not my usual mechanic
so I'm not sure that I should believe that assesment. Thanks much.

make sure the correct amount of fluid is in the tranny.. level ground in
nuetral not park while running check it... if it is a "hair low" it will
slip some check that 1st
