Default Tanny takes a moment to get into gear

So I noticed when I go from reverse or park to drive that I cant step on the gas right after. If I do my it will kinda just sit there and then go and the trac control light will come on. I also noticed that if i drop my foot off the gas or tap the gas I can feel A slight clunk. In a buick I had it did this really bad (the clunking). My guess and hope is that the transmission fluid is just low. but just to make sure what is the proper way to check. I check after I have driven the car for a bit and while its still on. When I did check the fluid was clean but did look a little low. I'm going to put more in soon but Do you think these are signs that my tranny is going out? Thank you for your help.

Sounds like 1 of 2 things...

#1) check your trans fluid level..and fill accordingly.
#2) when the last time it had a fluid filter changed?
.... Sounds like a possible plugged Transmission filter...
