Guessing a "Standard" transmission (not an automatic).

Normally this is caused by broken synchronize rings; gears inside a standard transmission are "Paired" except for reverse. So a broken synchronizer on 1&2 but not 3&4 (5&6) is highly likely. (Synchronizer is used here in its broad sense of Sync rings, retainers, clips, and keyways; assuming a typical BW setup).

Will a 95 Chevy Tahoe 4x4 transmission fit in a 98 Chevy Tahoe 4x4?

I dont think a 95 Transmission will fit in the 98. From what i've been seeing, in my 98' Tahoe, the starter is mounted on the bellhousing of the transmission. I dont think that the 95 would have the same set up when 96-7 wouldnt also. As far as I know, you have to have a transmission that is 98 or newer. Could I be wrong though?
