Hi there.
Lets have him check the basics first.
With the engine running have him check the transmission fluid level, it should also be a bright pink color and not have a foul smell to it. My guess is that it is either low on fluid or the fluid is burnt form the transmission overheating, and will not go into gear when this happens.
Let me know what you find please.
About all he can do is keep an eye on the fluid level to make sure it is not leaking out. Also make sure the engine oil and coolant are full, so as to not add more heat to the transmission.
I dont know how long it will last though, it sounds like the transmission is on it's last leg, tell 'em i'm pulling for him.
