How can I fix my 1996 Saturn LS2's reluctance to go into reverse - I usually have to goose the accelerator?

What you're describing sounds like low hydraulic pressure. That can be caused by an internal hydraulic leak or a worn hydraulic pump. Internal hydraulic leaks can be a "valve body" issue, which can be a little less money than a full transmission rebuild, or it can be something much more difficult/expensive.
If it's the hydraulic pump, it must be replaced to solve the problem... however, once you have the transmission apart, you may as well rebuild the whole thing.
Now for the good news.
For a vehicle that is 15 years old, you would probably be better off just putting in a can of "Trans-X" or other transmission seal reconditioner. Seal reconditioners cause the seals to soften slightly and enlarge, resulting in a little less internal leaking. That can be a way to get a little extra life out of a worn transmission.
Good luck.

1996 Saturn ls2 has no reverse?
1. Saturn did not make the LS2 until 2000, you probably meant the SL2 2. If reverse is gone it's probably either the clutch pack or the valve body. Either way, you'll need to take the vehicle to a transmission shop.
What allows a Saturn car to accelerate a Saturn have an accelerater cable?
