Quick question guys everytime I hit a bump in the road my transmission slips out of gear and goes into neutral it is also slipping out of overdrive and in order to get my key out I have to cram the gear shifter extremely hard up into Park any suggestions?

Its likely out of adjustment. You'll need to go underneath and check for abnormal damage, since things are factory bent, its not all straight stamped parts, looking for bends without knowing what its supposed to look like is difficult. However, there is a spring with a bolt that you can loosen, put the trans in park and the gear shift lever in park then tighten the bolt. Rarely, that bolt will slip and bring the thing out of adjustment, its the first thing id start on.
