Default Neutral Safety Switch Pin Question

How necessary is this pin for neutral safety switch adjustment? I'm embarrassed to admit I broke mine off.

it runs the actual switch
Also, it's nothing really special, IIRC it's just a pressed in roll-pin (split pin) which you should be able to get at a good hardware supplier

If you can't get a pin and press it back in you should be able to push/drill what's left of yours out and then get a small nut/bolt that just fits nice into the switch tab, pass it through the shifter and loctite the nut in place, I believe there's a bit of a gap between the switch and shifter that will allow the nut to clear. You can't run a bolt through everything and put the nut on the outside as it needs to rotate a bit in the switch as it moves through it's range
