Keith, you shim between the solenoid and the case with a washer or washers.
You need to have the pan off and it is much easier to do with the trans on the work bench. Back out the solenoid to see when the reverse piston is engaged into the valve body .010 to .020 with the solenoid in the activated position. Then measure the distance between the case and the base of the solenoid and find a washer that is that distance thick or just a few thousands less and install that washer.
I have found transmissions that needed as much as .150 and some that needed nothing with the average being around .090.
I would guess and that is only a guess that if you needed a shim of .090 you should pick up about .020 of reaction time or maybe just a little more. There are lots of variables on this but it will help the reaction time for sure.
If you shim it out to far the trans brake will not hold or it will shudder the whole car and not hold so be careful if you are not sure what you are doing.
