You will find it slips into drive easier if one side is sloped.
This first bit is a head scratcher. Where do I start?--well, the green colored part is the available shaft end and flywheel hub on the side of the Kerzel opposite from the governor weights. It is 3/8" diameter x 1.125" long. The brown colored part is a steel shaft extender 3/8" i.d. x 7/16" o.d. that slides over the Kerzel shaft and is pinned there by a 3/32" diameter cross pin. (And maybe some Loctite). The dark blue gear is a 24 dp x 20 tooth gear which has an internal bore of 1/2" and has a bronze bushing (red color) pressed into it. It also has three "dogs" machined on one side. It actually "floats" on the shaft extender and is not keyed to it in any way. There is a shoulder on the end of the brown shaft extender which the gear rides up against. The pink part is a steel sliding bushing with three "dogs" machined on it that will fit into the three slots between the dogs on the blue gear. It has a "groove" machined into the outer diameter, which a pair of pins on the shift lever fit into. It is capable of sliding along the shaft extender, and is also keyed to the shaft extender so it can not rotate freely. (I haven't quite worked that last bit out yet.)

Seems like it could slip sideways on the red bearing?
