I did some shifting through gears for 10 minutes or so and eventually the delay was back.

So, should I try to add more fluid right around that time? Would something in the transmission system kick in and the delay would start after some fluid gets directed there? Does the transmission cooler immediately circulate the fluid or become active after the fluid heats up a little which may lower the fluid amount in the transmission?

Thoughts?

If you followed the procedure for filling the trans it tells you to go through all the gears and pausing at the gear. This will allow the ATF to flow through all the nooks and crannies in the trans. Sounds like you are still a little low.
