It looks like a "hitch pin". Most general hardware stores sell them. You Can also use a drill bit of the correct diameter, or gauge the hole size in the car with a drill, then go to the hardware store with the drill, and buy a pin that's the same diameter. Good luck.

As others have pointed out, it is only used to keep the shifter in neutral if you ever have to remove the shifter housing and re-install it.

OOPS! Sounds like you were talking about the roll pin that attaches the shift rod to the transmission shift shaft, that must be driven in.
We assumed you were talking about the pin on the shifter end of the rod called the "shift control neutral lock pin".
