I've fixed mucho many of those FT gears that 'd split. Just clean the shaft and gear thoroughly of all grease. Then apply epoxy sparingly to only the splined area of the shaft using something like a toothpick, and slide the gear back on. Never had one fail.
Re. the cloverleaf, back in the day there was an aftermarket item for that, consisting of a bungee sized to fit snugly around the outside perimeter. What you're doing is just as good, probably better.
