Default Reverse light switch

Mine is kindly playing silly games (oh what fun!) & has decided that it would be very jolly to permanently light up the reverse lights

PS, it is definitely the switch!!! Crawled underneath & messed about with the wiring to see what happened.....

Anyhow, the offending item is on the back of the gearbox, above the o/d. Is it at all possible to change the switch with the gearbox in situ? My workshop is the gutter* & I'm skint at the moment, so garage bills aren't an option for something as insignificant as this.

* I do however have stands / ramps etc so can get the car high enough to get decent access to the underside.

Plan B is to wire in an illuminated switch so that I can switch them on or off as desired since just unplugging the wiring doesn't really appeal as I find it much easier to park in the dark with the reverse lights working.
