700R4 Gets Stuck In Neutral For a Second when Put in Overdrive.
This started about a two weeks ago.
About maybe 1 in every 15 or so times I take my car out of park in put in Overdrive it will get stuck in neutral. Some times it hangs for a second and others I have to put it back in Neutral and then put it in overdrive.
When driving the car is perfectly fine.
The only thing that may be of concern is that about a month ago the car sounds a little louder when shifting from first to second but this happened after I upgraded my exhaust and this started after I upgraded my exhaust (I was told it's the sound echoing off of the lighter and more hollow Y-Pipe).
Any Idea of what this could be? Fluid level is full and fluid is still bright pink.

Check the linkage on the side of the trans, might have come loose
