The shift rod on my motor came off of the pin and now it won't go in gear. I can put the rod back on the pin, but what keeps it there. Is there a cotter pin or something that keeps it from slipping off again?

On all the motors I have seen to date (and let me be clear its not many). The shift rod goes into a slit in the shift bracket and there is a bolt with a pin that screws through the bracket and through the hole in the shift rod. I could be totally wrong so fair warning.
