Default clutch, cylinders, or bearing issues

In reading several threads not sure which one. My symptoms on my 99 v6 5sp camaro is that; 1st shifting into reverse is becoming an issue, 2nd hard to shift into second sometimes. If I pump the clutch a second time, it will shift then. 3rd rough idling. Lastly, in pressing the cluch shifting into 1st from a stand still, car will take off sometimes while clutch engaged. The reservoir does have fluid and I've read if it doesn't or you have to refilling it then it is the cylinders? Your thoughts?

To get things straight, the clutch is engaged when your foot is off the pedal, it is released when you depress the clutch pedal. From the symptoms you are describing, the clutch is not completely releasing. If the fluid level is holding full, then either the master or slave cylinder could be bad or the system has air in it and needs to be bled.

As for the rough idle, that is a different problem unrelated to the clutch. You may want to change plugs & plug wires, new fuel filter, new air cleaner. Is the service light lit? If it is, get the car scanned.
