Just an ordinary orange 4 pin relay. Only thing special about it is that it has provision for retaining lugs.
Same relay as lambda heater or fuel pump relay.
If you want to test the circuit, pull the two single plugs apart (top right of glove box area) with black/yellow wires and plug them together. This reverts the circuit to as it is on a manual car.
Unlikely that the relay is faulty - much more likely to be misadjustment of the switch on the gear selector.
