Ok my truck done the same thing put it in reverse then to drive to check my universal joint and heard a pop and then i lost 2nd, 4th, and reverse all at one time it ended up being the sun-shell gear in the tranny cost me almost 500 to fix hope this helps out
No this is a common Chevy blazer problem. by default blazers are rear wheel drive and there's a drive shaft that comes from the transmission in the front of the truck to a trans axle in the rear which drives the rear wheels. now the drive shaft is in two pieces connected by a universal joint that bends almost like a spinning elbow this like most other car parts beings to wear and you get the clunking when you push the pedal and it starts spinning. Dont worry your transmission is fine its only the drive shaft which is less serious to fix. and its safe to drive and will last many many miles. My 94 blazer has 475,315 on it. and the same clunk started at 100,000 and she is still running strong. For peice of mind go to a shop that you trust and they will know exactly what you are talking about and tell them to take a look at your drive shaft and universal join. remember these trucks last forever mine is all stock with that many miles on it. unless you blow your engine or win the lottery dont get rid of it becuase im telling u they dont make em like they used to. if you want more information feel free to email me.

It is inside the transmission. It is called a reaction sun shell, it strips out, which causes the grind noise your talking about.
