Not enough details. Since you can start it that means the clutch pedal is fully depressed, allowing the ignition to work. So when you then select 1st or R and let the clutch up slowly (normally), it stalls? Is the let-up geometry (release point) normal? When the clutch is fully depressed can you cycle through the 5 gears normally...and quietly? Keep talking....
