It would help if you listed that in your note. Also, what steps you've taken so far to diagnose the problem.
Not knowing that, the first thing I'd do is remove the wheels and inspect the brake pads. You could well be a metal on metal. That's easy to fix; it's called a brake job.
For the transmission, how many miles on the car? Have you checked fluid levels and condition? The tranny fluid should be bright pink and smell like oil. If it's reddish brown, or brown, it's burnt and many of the hydraulic properties necessary to accomplish shifts may be gone. Or, the cable to the shift linkage on the transmission may have stretched, come loose, or otherwise changed from original. That could be a reason for the delay. Another pssiblity could be that one or more shift solenoids could be failing.
My guess (and it's just a guess) is the shift linkage or switch is out of adjustment in one way or another.
