Transmission problem #999

ok i am having a minor issue with my transmission. no matter how warm or cold my engine is when i brake hard like a panic brake or unexpected braking from a high speed and go to press on the gas again to start moving again something slips for a second or two then it seems to kick into gear. Now if i rev the engine and have my foot on the brake i can get it to kick into gear without a sudden jolt. It only happens in the scenarios that i mention so its not often but i was wondering if there is anyone who knew why it happened. any info would be great.

by the way its a 94 sport 4x4 aw4 with np231 and dana 35. 4.0l
 
Sounds normal to me. The torque converter unlocks when you hit the brakes, accelerate hard, or let all the way off the gas. It'll rev a little higher until it locks again. You can get it to unlock by driving normal and tap the brake pedal with your left foot and it'll jump a few hundred rpm for a few second.
