With that info, you will have someone with experience zero in on your problem.

05 GTO 6.0 K&N CAI, SLP CatBack skip shift elemenator. 32,000miles This is how it happens I am at dead stop engine at idle I try to put it in 1st and it will not let me. I can get it into 1st after doing 1 of 2 things either letting the clutch out a bit while pushing the shifter it will then slide into 1st or I can take it back to neutral and then back to 1st and that doesnt always work just the other day I had it in 1st and went to take off in a parking lot so I wasnt dogging on it and the shifter popped out of 1st I hope this enough info let me know if you guys need more

I had a similar problem with my Mustang but with 2nd gear. I could get it into gear no problem but it wouldn't stay in gear and would just pop out when I hit the gas. It became progressively worse over time and didn't go away when I changed the clutch out. I figured it was the synchronizer's so I eventually I had the transmission rebuilt. Once it was rebuilt my assumption was confirmed as the points of the teeth on the sychronizer's for 2nd were completely worn and definitely needed to be replaced.

I'm not a transmission mechanic by any means but since your problem sounded similar I figured I would share my experience.

My 04 does this also, I just always brushed it off as how the car is sitting / angle i.e. If I let off the clutch a little it will allow me to slide into 1st gear.
