Default jumping out of gear

what's likely to be the cause of this?

1st gear seems to be the worst, if you are in traffic and you are going along then let off the jolt knocks it out of gear.
also seems to fall out in higher gears but not as much - always when you have to back off and the little jolt triggers it.

any ideas as to the problem?

its an ERST btw
