Gearbox problems

Help needed 🙏
A friend of ours has a 2005 camper conversion from a Transit Automatic minibus, the gear change is operated by 3 buttons on the dash Forward, park/neutral and reverse, (which is operated by pressing it twice). problem is, it makes up its own mind if it will go into reverse ( doing their heads in)
Big problem, very few of them around resulting in it being hard to find any one to look at it let one have a clue what the fix is.
Need to find someone who good with Transits, and or thus type of automatic gearbox, I'm told the same box has been used in Peugeot.

My mechanic, whose Ford trained, says he's seen a lot of Transits but never one like that. He reckons it could be a switch or gearbox problem and suggests contacting this guy, an auto gearbox specialist. Paul, Wexford Transmission. 086 3058536'
