HELP!! Wont go in reverse!!

I just bought a 1995 900S from a friend of mine. She said that it hasn't been going in reverse, and boy! was she right!! I mean, when I press the clutch, the stick engages reverse, but as soon as I lift off the clutch, there is a LOUD grinding noise, and nothin happens.
My mechanic took one listen to it, and promptly declared that I need a new gearbox, for $650.
Now, here's the problem: I dont want to spend $650 for an entire gearbox (all the other gears work just fine!) when its just reverse that isnt working... what can do?/ask my mechanic to do?
Is it that the 'teeth' (I'm not very car savvy, sry) for reverse are worn? Would it be easy for him to replace? Is it just a bushing? Help!!
Btw... I can take the keys in and outa the ignition, no problem... its just that reverse wont engage when the clutch is lifted.
Theres GOT to be a Saab genius that can help me not spend $650?
Thx!!
