M5R2 shift fork replacement parts

I replaced a very worn M5R2 1-2 shift fork today. In the process, several small parts fell out.
1)spring
2)oblong detent bearing
3)round bearing
4)small solid pin
I placed the spring in the top cover and then the round ball bearing. I placed the oblong detent bearing between the shift forks. However, I have no idea where to place the small solid pin.
Help!

After some research, I think it may be a rod that goes to a neutral safety switch that Ford does not use. Does this sound correct?

The Backup Light switch is mounted on the driver side edge of the shifter cover.

Here's a thread that describes the top cover assembly.
