It doesn't look like you can directly swap the chain/sprocket element with two gears, so you're going to at least need 3, which means you'll need to add in another shaft and its bearings to support it, which means more machining, on top of the gear/gear stock you have to buy and machine as well.
Not sure why you think you'd need a third gear in there. Can't you just reverse the motor (in programming)?
