There is a stepper motor used for idle control. It is either on its way out or has become contaminated with carbon or oil etc. You may have also developed a vacuum leak from a broken vac line or failed gasket etc.

At those idle speeds it WILL be difficult to get into gear as 1st gear is not synchronized nor designed to engage at those engine/trans speeds. It could also be that the pilot bearing is trashed and dragging on the input shaft.

Only way you are gonna know for sure is to have a competent tech diagnose it....
