Maybe a stooopid question here, but have you checked the fluid in the reservoir to see if it's not empty? If you have checked it, did you notice if the fluid is filthy, and a dark almost coffee dark caramel color? Mine was dirty looking and I could take my finger and wipe residue off of the inner lip.
I did not have the sensation you are describing and the fluid most probably isn't your problem, my problem felt like some kind of interference when I shifted from one gear to the next, almost like something was preventing a nice smooth shift. I had the dealer suck out all the old and install new. I felt a difference right away and the problem was corrected. I didn't think of it or I would have had them change it out with synthetic. Next time for sure. If you go this route change out to synthetic....
Can't help you on the throwout bearing, or slave cylinder arrangements.
As far as a service manual......If you go to;
www.mygmlink.com and register (FREE) you can obtain a manual. Select the glove box option. There you will find your owners manual online and can order a service manual.
