47RE slamming into gear?

My 97 is what can best be described as slamming into gear. When you put the selecter into gear the is not much delay then tranny seems to slam into gear. When I bought the truck it seemed ok Truck has 104k and all original. Fliuds changed at regular intervals. Some light towing before I owned the truck, nothing major. The idle on the truck is around 750- 800 rpm. As I recall thats about right. The tranny shifts smoothly thru all gears. I have had several auto's before and none of them have done this before. Just wondering. Thanks Brian
