5 Spd is now a 4 Spd w/o Reverse

I Just bought my first Saab 900 last weekend at an auction. Its a 1991 900s 5spd trans 173k miles. I only paid $250 for the car which I think was a great price for an otherwise great car. Until now I had no idea how much money that transmission may end up costing me.
I have seen several complaints about the Saab 5spd and was wondering if anyone else has had experience with the loss of 1st gear and Reverse. I am simply unable to push the shifter into either gear. I'm hoping someone may have a simple fix for this problem. I really cant afford to drop a grand in a car I've really never driven. If there is no simple fix, I am also interested in finding out whether or not I would be able to do a swap despite my lack of experience with transmission work.
Please Help, I hate to sell such a nice car only to have someone strip it for parts.
