Default Redcat LIGHTNING STR (2spd clutch help)

hi there.

my lightning str doesn't shift into 2nd gear anymore, after doing some research and looking at the car itself. it seems that it lost the "set screw" (part #02099). looking at the exploded view on the transmission system, i'm not sure if the #02099 is all i need or if there is a small spring like item that need to go in behind it?
the 2spd clutch itself has the part #02045, if that is important...

when i turn the car upside down and look at the transmission system from the bottom i see the hexhead type screw that holds the clutch itself in place but the "hole" next to it is empty.

will this problem resolve by simply adding a new #02099 adjustment screw back into the hole? if so, i found out that the "deepth" of screw matters on how soon or late the 2nd gear will ingage. any help in the matter is greatly appreciated!

thanks in advance, Rob
