If I'm not mistaken, the one on the older Rangers was what is called a "horseshoe clip"...or horseshoe retainer.
It is just a U shaped washer with some edges cut on the inside so that the clip slides into a grove on the shaft and holds it in place from side to side movement...
The little plastic clip that holds the clutch push rod on the pedal does the same job but it has little plastic fingers that flare open and then spring back to give it just enough snugness to hold.
There are others available...I liked the idea that you were going to use a hitch pin sort of like what was on the brake pedal...it goes through a hole and snaps down over the shaft...
Any or all of these could be used...as long as they don't stop the entire shaft from swinging the way it is intended or you will get binding in the pedals...
