'loose' transmission?

thats the best way i can describe it. honestly, searching google led me to a recall that sounds exactly like whats happening:
"UNDER CERTAIN LOAD CONDITIONS, THE PARK GEAR MAY NOT DISENGAGE IMMEDIATELY WHEN THE TRANSMISSION LEVER IS MOVED FROM PARK TO REVERSE."
this is pretty much whats happening. when i put it into reverse, i have to wait a good 1-2 seconds before it goes into gear. even then, it *barely* moves. i have to give it gas in order for the transmission to 'catch', and once it does, it moves as normal.
if i give it too much gas before it 'catches', my wires will squeal.
does the same thing when i shift into drive also. takes forever to shift into drive, and when it does i have to give it gas (keep the rpm at about 1000) before the tranny will catch, then i can give it 'normal' gas and the car will accelerate as normal
i was planning on doing a tune up on it in the next month, and if this is something basic (needs new tranny fluid and filter) that i can tackle, id like to add it to the list.
