What would make a shifter pop out of 1st gear by itself?

Like it says....it doesnt happen very often, but I just did some work to the undercarriage because I was getting a pretty heavy vibration at highway speeds. I found that the bolts on the driveshaft flange were almost completely out of the car, so I replaced them with all new ones. I also replaced the bolts and hardware for the transmission crossmember mount, as they were gone too. The vibration is completely gone, but this is the one thing that still occurs--rarely, but it still does. It first happened the day before I replaced those bolts, and then it happened again today. All other gears are just fine, except for 2nd---sometimes I need to ease it into 2nd or it will grind on me. Oh, and car is a mostly stock 95 5 speed. Any thoughts?

oh crap....wrong trannie, i would assume that the causes for a trannie jumping out of a gear would be the same though...
