700-r4 Drops down into 1st and stays there

So I'm driving around at about 35mph and all of a sudden my trans drops out of gear down to 1st and stays there. I stopped to see if the TV cable was okay and couldn't find anything wrong. Get in it, drive in 1st for a couple of miles, stopped at a few lights and all of a sudden it's okay again and goes through the gears like normal. Then I hit a bump and she drops out of gear again, and another light later it's back to normal again.

I'm thinking maybe the OD switch? Anyone had this problem?

Open to ideas.
