Why would the forward gears be rough in a manual?

You are pushing against the rotation of the transmission when going into the upper gears. When you pull with it in the lower gears, then it is smooth and jumps into place. Or that's what i would think.

How many gears does a 1976 Chevy K5 Blazer 350 small block have?

Well, that vehicle would have had a TH350 trans. So, it would have had 3 forward gears, and then a 4 low in the T-case, so actually, you could split each gear in the trans, making 6, actual forward gears. And then, actually, 2 reverses.

What would cause the reverse to go out on a 97 Blazer?

If this is an automatic transmission, more than likely the transmission is on it's way to the junkyard. Usually failing transmissions lose reverse first, then the higher forward gears - last will be the lowest forward gears.

Have your universal joint checked first, then your differential, then move on to anything else. Universal joint replacement is fairly common for all models of manual trans. Jeeps as they gain some miles.

How many gears does a 2004 Jeep Wrangler have?

If you have the manual transmission 5 forward and one reverse, add to that 4 wheel high, 4 wheel low, and 2 wheel low, and I guess it would all add up to 24. But 5 forward and one reverse with a 4 position transfer case is probably what you are looking for.

What is more fuel efficient manual or automatic transmission?

In the past a manual transmission equipped vehicle would always get better fuel mileage. But on cars built in the last 5 years that is not always true. There are some vehicles where the A/T equipped vehicle gets as good or better fuel mileage than a manual. Especially cars equipped with a CVT automatic transmission. Agreed, with modern automatics having as many as 9 forward gears and a lock up torque converter that can engauge in low gears the efficiency difference of the past is all but gone.
