At least the OP noted "automatic rebuild". Might be a clue. Might.

Did this happen AFTER the trans was rebuilt? What exactly do you mean by
hesitate? Does the engine bog down as soon as you put it in gear ir does it
do it when you step on the gas to make it move? If it does it when you try
and make it move, then something is wrong with your transmission and it
needs to go back to be checked out. Some have suggested a malfunctioning
torque converter but I doubt that as it doesn't know or care what which way
you are trying to move and would cause the same problem in either direction
if it were the cause.

Torque converter n front pump is normal for those.
But at least it is cheaper than a tranny rebuild.
Now you should be good for another 100k miles.

So much for the rebuild.

Did you put a new torque converter in when rebuilt tranny?
