If the trans acts normal when it is cold, but has a delay when it is at operating temperature it is probably a fluid pressure issue. As the trans temp increases, the fluid temp also increases and with ATF the higher the temp, the lower the viscosity of the fluid. If there is a leak within the trans the thinner viscosity will not be able to maintain pressure unless the engine is rev which most driver will do if the vehicle is not moving backward. Reving the engine will spin the trans pump faster which in turn will create more fluid pressure which will allow the trans to engage reverse.

Is there a delay from reverse to forward?
