Probably not an electrical, but more a hydraulic issue. Were there bolt 'ring scars' at the valve body bolts also, like the transaxle has been apart?
I have found loose valve body bolts from a previous overhaul and snugging them took care of a delayed engagement. The filter o-ring seal must also seat properly in the valve body suction port for a good seal. Sometimes I have found 2 o-rings left in there that caused a pump suction leak.
ATF thins as it warms, pressure will drop especially if a leak of any kind is present.
The front pump could also be showing signs of wear. 1996 was the year of the big seal and software update, going from lip seals to 'D'-seals for many clutch applications.
