when you flip the switch and slowly go, does it engage as soon as you flip the switch, or does it engage as you accelerate?

mine will not engauge at idle more then 20% of the time, but if I engage it while it is still slowly rolling to a stop it works 100%. basically while it is still coasting to a stop, just before it comes to a stop if I hit the switch it engauges. both Fwd and reverse.
on the bench if I hit the switch and give the wheels a spin it engauges easily, but by spinning the mail gear it is harder??
