If you have to you can use a chisle and drive it back on tight with lots of red locktight. Not the best way but it will work and get you back on the road.

Knock the edge off the chisel so you won't destroy the nut - shape it to fit the notches in the nut - back the nut way off, flush the shaft threads and nut threads with lacquer thinner, use red loctite\equiv on the threads - spin the nut on, hammer-torque it down B4 the loctite sets up - may give you a little headway B4 it backs off again.

Major hint, here, dudes - don't release the go-pedal abruptly in any gear, and specifically in 5th gear - ease off so the driveline doesn't jerk, then ease back into it - same with Cruise: hold the go-pedal with your right foot to maintain speed, reach over with the left foot and tap the brake pedal to release Cruise, ease off the go-pedal - OR - if you can't walk and chew gum at the same time, use the release button on your steering wheel, then ease off the go-pedal.

Learn to drive the NV4500 in that manner, and the nut behind the wheel will have much less trouble with the nut behind 5th gear, eh?
