Default nv4500 -- 4th gear

Transmission shifts normally 99.9 percent of the time, other .1 percent the transmission seems to be sticking in 2 gears. Did it this morning, last time was 2 months ago. All gears shift fine, except I cant get it into 4th gear. When this happens, the shifter handle vibrates pretty good in 3rd and 5th. Any thoughts? When I shut the truck off , then start it later in the day it will shift like normal.
Update: Went for a drive a while ago, started shifting gears, couldnt get into 4th gear- went on to 5th gear. Drove around for about 10 miles, upshifting and downshifting and never being able to get it into 4th. Went over a set of rough train tracks-- now all gears shift and feel as they should. Any ideas?

Got it fixed!! 2 bolts on the drivers side of the shifter were loose. Changed fluid as well, and put in thru the top of trans, much easier.
