Jackal,
I'm no professional transmission builder, but I've been into a few.
Sounds like you have a couple of things going on. As far as not being able to cycle through the gears with the truck stationary--don't sweat it. The synchronizers that line up the gear teeth prior to enagement get worn over time, but they will most likely go a long time yet. I used to have an 88 F150 with the Mazda 5-speed in it and when I came to a stop, say at a light, I would put it in third, then come back to first--smooth as silk.
As for the hard jerks you feel when you let our on the clutch--that's most likely a warped Clutch disc and/or bad surfaces on the pressure plate and flywheel. Have a reputable shop replace the clutch disc and pressure plate and resurface your flywheel. put a new pilot bushing in there while you're at it. Depending on the age of the vehicle, you may also want to replace the throw-out bearring/slave cylinder assy. If it has started leaking--replace it.
The most expensive part of any transmission or clutch repair is actually getting it torn down---do it right while you are in there.
