Looks like the gear on the shaft is the "pointy tooth" model used in the 1950 up early style trans. Since the angle is different from the earlier matching cluster , the teeth will only make contact on only a small part of the teeth, making it weaker.

The sheared pin is not hardened and can be drilled out with a 1/8 inch drill bit and then be replaced with an 1/8 inch pin (or cut off a 1/8 inch bit to fit). It can be held in place with a dab of JB Weld.
