Sloppy clutch lever

[angus67]

I would say yes. Take a look at your current parts and notice how the threads worn through the bushing have started to cut into the side of the lever hole. You'd tear a new lever's hole all up if you were pivoting it on a threaded bolt.

this is also a reason to not use threaded rod for engine mount bolts. there is no pivoting, but the vibes make the thread chew up the aluminum motor.
not saying your doing that, just another example.
