For example, when I stop at a stop sign and go to take off it won't go. I have to shift it into neutral and then back into drive and then it will go. It's like it gets stuck in between gears.

Yep, that is because it is. What happens is the clutch actuators get stuck because they are worn out and need to be replaced. Here is how I would replace both of them, which is common. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
