the problem is when my car is in drive and i change it into reverse or any other gear it takes a while (a little bit longer than what im use to) to get fully get into that gear.

thanks
That is not normal, i have replaced several reverse clutch packs to fix that very problem.
due to normal wear there is too much clerance between the friction disc and the hard discs. the clutches and the main disc for the reverse gets replaced. in severe cases i have seen this problem escalate and ruin the transmission,
