Default Transmission slow to engage?

I have a 00 auto cherokee. I noticed saturday it didnt wanna drive when in "D" at first. It went after a second though. I looked underneath when I got home and saw the front tranny cooler line was loose. I secured it and topped off the fluid and it was good. Comin to work today it started acting up again. I went to gas it from a stop, never took it outa "D" and the engine rev'd a bit before I began to move, resulting in a nice cluck in the rear end. It drove fine after to work. Then just now at lunch I backed outa the parking spot and put it in "D" and it doesnt go. Engine rev'd to about 2k, and I let off the gas. It went back to idle and it was fine again. Anyone know whats up?
