C5 clutch
I have trouble shifting from reverse to 1st gear but I don't have issue shifting from 1st to second gear and the rest of the gear when I am running but when I stop and shift it to reverse it's ok but it is hard to shift it back to first gear unless I turn the engine off.

Stock Shifter? The mounts are rubber and they get old. Shifter could be out of alignment making it hard to shift. Zip performance has urathane mounts. Blue prints the stock shifter and look up the Anti Venom mod.
If it is the clutch it would be disengaging low to the floor. Two things. Pressure plate going away or your Slave Cylinder like I had a problem with. Clutch is expensive to have done. 1000.00 + . The torque tube and the complete rear assembly have to come out to get to the clutch. Not a shade tree job. If it is a clutch Do the LS7 clutch or the Luk Pro Gold which is the same clutch as the GM unit for like 240.00 on partsgeek. Buy only a GM Slave and I would suggest also the Tick Performance Clutch Master cylinder. Buy both from Tick. If your pedal feels like it is not disengaging the clutch it will make it hard at low revs to switch gears and these things could be the reason.
