Reverse is erm 'one'..there are a few:-) of the Achille's heels of Our Saab transboxes. Personally patched 2 reverse gears, sadly expensively.
But it's a standalone idler gear setup. Unlikely it's related to 3/4 'missing'.
Have seen a couple of Aeros being foolishly driven for some time with inoperable reverse gears :-) Bigger issue is the broken gear teeth bits, that just like failed Diff bearings, spread a cloud of hardened steel debris .. everywhere.. ruining all in contact.
IMO a complete/competent trans rebuild is suggested,due to the reverse issue, even IF it's only the shift coupler that's gone.
Half measures just turn around and bite one.. soon enough.
G'luck though. No one needs the Aggro.
