Are you referring to the shaft that is hooked to shift arm in the bell housing? 21 and 25 in this schematic. http://www.boats.net/parts/search/Me...ING/parts.html
I'm not sure why it would fall out. Is it bent? It sounds like you may need to purchase a new shift shaft, arm, and screw.
If you are referring to something else, please clarify.

Ahh, that makes more sense. There is a washer on the shift bushing. Number 52 in this schematic. http://www.boats.net/parts/search/Me...0MR/parts.html
That washer keeps the shift shaft from falling down, in other words it sets the height. It must be missing from your lower unit. It comes installed on the lower, but it would be possible for it to slip off during shipping.
