read my above post... im not an internet ***got. im a senior in highschool that works for my car, fixes everything that i can myself, i read to learn more information. and i am where i am right now becuase i respect people. enough with the lecture.... thats what happens when you piss people off. all behind.. there is no syncronizer in the reverse gear, hopefully you didnt drive it after you blew your reverse gear, you risk getting metal shavings in other gears and messing up the teeth on them... i have never replaced a reverse gear before, but i plan on taking apart my transmission soon... just do a search on this site for replacing the reverse gear on here, im sure there have been other instances of this happening. when you pull your tranny, (and if you know your clutch is ok) dont bother taking off the bellhousing, just unbolt the tranny from the bellhousing, me and my buddy could lift it, it weighs about 100 pounds so dont do it yourself.. im sure it would be cheaper if you did it yourself, but if you decide not to, just drop the tranny off at a transmission shop, im sure it will be a lot cheaper than taking it to the shop and having them install it and all... there ya go, and good luck i hope it isnt more than just the reverse gear....
