Thats probably the slave cylinder throw out bearing running on the fingers of the pressure plate . I am not an expert on the GM hydraulics but have messed with a few of them in the past . In my experience , the adjustable master cylinders have to be pretty much right on the money . If they are not you will either get too much throw causing the clutch to slip or not enough causing the clutch to not work .

As the clutch disc wears , the master needs adjustment .
