You have a sort of unusual condition there. Unfortunately it suggests that the mainshaft has broken just ahead of the reverse gear which is not the typical catastrophe for these transmissions. That would have happened when the pinion bearings failed and the mainshaft (aka pinion shaft) went off center. There are other possibilities but that's the most probable one. I enjoy solving mechanical mysteries and this is a unit I'd like to necropsy.
Sandy's suggestion of removing an axle so that the car can be rolled around is good but when you do that you should clamp the wheel bearing with a CV (either an old spare one or take the CV off of the removed axle assembly) and nut or a big ass bolt with some big washers and a nut. Putting the car's weight on a wheel bearing that's not clamped together by a CV will damage that wheel bearing.
If the car is parked on smooth, flat, ideally level, concrete you can just put a roller jack under the aluminum cross member, raise the car until the front tires are just off the ground and roll it around by pulling the jack handle. That's done all the time in shops.
