Shift rod bolt fell out!

So I’m on a road trip and I pulled into a rest area for a break. I parked but then discovered I couldn’t get the car into reverse to pull out the key. Being a long time 9000/9-5 owner I figured it was something to do with the shift linkage that I could sort out when I got to my destination (as long as I didn’t need to back up anywhere). Well I went to leave and found I had lost all my gears. Looking into the engine bay it was pretty easy to see that the gear selector rod from the transmission had come apart from the shifter rod. Looks as simple as the bolt holding it together had loosened and fallen off
Not having any tools or a replacement bolt I got AAA to take it to a nearby shop (it was nearly 10pm so shop is closed). I am hoping they can get to it first thing in the morning so I can continue my trip, but in case they can’t, anybody have any idea what size bolt I need? Couldn’t see anything on any of the Saab parts suppliers sites. Is it likely that simple or am I missing something?
Thanks
Rod
