I have a manual 350z and when it’s in neutral if I take my foot off the clutch, it’ll stall but if I give it gas and act like it’s in gear it drives and won’t go in reverse and only goes in 5th and 6th gear but bogs.

Yep, this happens when the clutch disc starts to fall apart and does not disengage fully. Please check out this video and guide to help confirm the issue:
