I am not familliar with the final drives of a M109 but it is possible that there is one more stage of gearing and the input shaft turns the other way. If so problem solved. If not it must be possible to reverse the bevel gear drive within the transmission. The older GM two stroke engines could be built up to turn either way quite easily but I doubt the transmission would accept that, particularly the torque converter !
