Lost Reverse then I got it back! - What happened?
So I did a small burn-out in the 95 Blazer on gravel. Afterwards I had no reverse, acted just like neutral. All forward gears work just no reverse. Then when I took another drive to verify all 5 forward gears were indeed working, which they were, I back came home. There is a side parking area of my driveway that is uphill, so I thought I would drive up that and coast back into position of the truck facing out.
I put it in Reverse and she would not roll backwards, so I tried to put into neutral, but it fought me a little bit (kind of clunky) due to the backward pressure of the hill, but for second it felt like reverse gear grabbed. I shifted back out of neutral into reverse and my reverse is working now! But what the hell happened? What should I check? Linkage or something?

Some questions first. Your signature says 4L60E transmission which would be a 4 speed automatic. (4 FWD 1REV)
Which type of shift lever? Floor mount or steering wheel mount?
Which type of 4x4? Pushbutton (1, 2) How many indicator lights?
When you got it on that incline you stated: "I tried to put it in neutral, but it fought me a little bit...", was that coming out of which position? Out of PARK, or out of "R" or out of OD?
