Also, I plan on double pinning these new forks. Where do you ideally want the second pin to go? Above or below the oem pin? Parrallel or Perpindicual with it? I'm assuming you use the same size pin as the OEM one in the second hole as well.
I would go perpendicular and above or below a good amount. I don't know if I would mess with it though. The holes are actually what make the fork weak. Adding more will probably just make it worse. I would put a smaller pin in if you do it.
That broken piece is the slider or selector ring.

Thanks for the info. I thought it was the location of the OEM hole that was the problem, so putting a second pin, where it's a little more beefy, made it more durable.

The spring you're missing is a wave spring. You only need one pin, and someone that knows how to drive. :p

Wave spring, gotcha. And I'm a horrible driver, so 2 pins for me!
there is a few degrees difference on the angle of the shift forks for the 2g dsms.. we found that out the hard way when we did my trany first few times.
it will look very close but it will be only off a few degrees.

Both the forks he had on his computer were for 1g's. One was for pre-May 1991, and the others were Post-May 1991, or something like that. I guess I'll find out! Thanks for the help so far!
