It sounds like the sun shell inside the transmission that is faulty, and that is due to a manufacturing process..
Unfortunately, this problem requires a rebuild or replacement of the transmission. The same thing happened to me about a month ago with my 97 Blazer. It cost me $1200.00 for a local transmission shop to rebuild mine.
"The "sun shell" connects the reverse input drum to the
sun gear. The 2/4 band wraps around the reverse drum. When the reverse
clutches are applied the sun shell spins the sun gear. When the 2/4 band
is applied the sun shell holds the sun gear from spinning. This is why
when it breaks you lose reverse, second and fourth"
