Is this a high mileage engine? Sounds like restricted fluid flow delays engagement. I'd look into changing fluid and filter on the transmission.

The weld on the manual lever is known to break loose. First, with the wheels off the ground, with the lever in the park position, does the drive shaft lock in park? If yes or no sometimes, drop the trans pan. I bet the nut on the lever camd loose.

Not shifting into gear properly

If the trans. hasn't been serviced every 30,000 miles and it has over 100,000 miles on it, it's problem is normal wear and tear. The only way to fix it right to rebuild it. You can add Lucas trans. additive to it. It worked miracles in my ford truck. Use two bottles.It will free up the valves and seals to buy you some time.

1992 A4LD trans problems.

Sounds like the shift kit is warn out in the transmission. The overdrive line may not be able to provide enough hydrolic pressure to engage the gears to move the truck. When you switch to regualr drive, that line is able to build the hydrolic pressure to engage the gears. At a certian speed (for the transmission, certian hydrolic pressure) there is enough pressure to engage the gears in overdrive, but go below that, and you have to start in drive again. If this is the case, there is no easy fix for that and I recomend taking it to a transmission shop to have your shift kit examined. Opening up an automatic transmission requires specalized tools, clean shop enviroment, and knowlage more then the average back yard machanic has.
