Bravo 3 delay going into forward, possible oil related?

Long story short, boat was running and shifting fine after service. The gear oil reservoir was low due to air in the drive so I added quicksilver hi performance 90wt gear lube, the green that matched what was in the reservoir, and now I have an occasional delay when shifting into forward.
Boat is a 2015 with 350mag and bravo 3.

@lrdchaos - Didn't you post about this a while ago . . . :unsure:

Shift adjustment, or possible cone clutch issues.

I did, upper cable was adjusted and it’s still acting up on occasion. Going in this week for the lower cable and while the drive is off I’m going to have the cone clutch checked. Just covering all my bases.

Just FYI -

Here is a look at the cone clutch & upper gear set from my Bravo 3 when I took it apart for maintenance a month or so ago . . .
