Try to rent a lift, it can makes a lot of things easier !
If the clutch releases, there is no problem with the master or slave cylinder.
Does it go in any other gear at a stop ?

It is sometimes difficult to get into first gear is static (idling). Reverse is more difficult. There are other times when it goes in smoothly, no resistance. When it is impossible to get it into 1st or reverse, I shut the car down, shift it then start it back up and continue on. Happens more with reverse. Occasionally, there is some resistance going into 2nd.

At those prices you should be getting a sponsor logo on one of Brumos' race cars.
These cars hate vacuum leaks. Sort out the vacuum leak first: AOS & oil filler hose. The reverse/first problem may just be a shifter adjustment issue.

try Omega motorsports or technical dimensions in Jax. Omega owner and 1st Mechanic worked at Brumos for a combined 28 yrs? The stories they told me were scary. T. D prices are close to Brumos. If you enjoy wrenching and have time and money go down the road you are on as far as diy. If you are planning on paying someone else consider another car.Please feel free to P.M. for more lengthy conversation by phone if you like. I am at the beach in Jax.

And when it's hard to go in first or reserve, is hard to go into the other gear ?

I'm asking that to locate the problem, if it's a clutch/clutch hydraulics problem, or a gearbox/shifter mechanism problem.

If it's a clutch problem, it will prevent you from going into any gear.
If the problem is only for some gear, it comes from the gearbox.
Of course... it can be both...

It's always hard to exactly point the problem without seeing the car !
You might just running low on old gearbox oil, mine shifts way better since I changed it.
