Erratic AW70 200 1984

This is a repost; no answers the first time round.

When parked overnight, or for an extended period, on startup the AW70 transmission does not engage in gear for perhaps up to 10 seconds. If I sit and allow the car to idle for that period the transmission will then engage, as though it needs to build pressure first. Is this normal for these automatics? I have changed the ATF, and cleaned the filter screen and there has been no improvement. Once I am underway, and for the rest of the drive, the transmission shifts smoothly and precisely. Any insight on this issue would be appreciated.
