If the noise is coming from the engine, make sure the oil is full and clean. Also, as far as the trans taking a few seconds to shift, that could be related to seals in it that are getting hard. If that is the case, they make additives that can soften them so pressure doesn't by-pass them taking longer to engage gears.
