Pilot Bushings

[USNENFTS]

So while I was putting my flywheel back on I noticed that the pilot bushing was fairly chewed up but it is plastic and a steel input shaft goes in it and I thought nothing of it at the time. Well if my clutch isn't engaged it sqeaks, push the clutch in and it goes away. Is this going to be a problem? Because I sure as heck ain't removing my up pipes and dropping the tranny again. I've been told that it isn't really all that important but I just want to verify. It will be a while before I have the motivation to fix this since I just got my engine back in the truck.
