I have a 2001 Z28 and im pretty sure the tranny is stock. I put a new kentucky clutch in about 2000 miles ago so it should be good. The problem is when im sitting at idle in neutral, I have to slam it in first gear and the car kind of jerks a little bit when i do. Once i get rolling it starts going a little bit smoother when i rev-match. If im driving rather spirited it starts giving me problems again. Im thinking and hoping its the clutch master cylinder so ill probably go with a tick. But could there be anything else causing this problem.

Syncors or bad first gear. Does it ever go into 1st smoothly?

it goes into 1st smoothly when im rolling and down shifting when its close to rev matched.

The first thing I'd do is the easiest thing: make sure the clutch is fully disengaging. An improperly disengaging clutch will always be tough to engage first or reverse with.

What's the condition of the clutch master cylinder reservoir fluid?

I have noticed the car jerking when I put it in gear and rolling a little bit. The fluid is pretty much new in the res.

If the fluid is clear, full and bled it then it sounds like you have a disengagement issue. A Tick should solve this problem for you whether it's the master or the clutch.
