I have 57,000 miles and have had the same exact problem for the last 2,000ish miles. Flushed the fluid hoping for a cheap/easy fix and nothing changed. Havent really worried about it as the car drives/shifts fine when not flooring it.
Was told it could be the clutch master and/or slave/tob. Italianjoe and Blazin seem to think it may be the pressure plate when I talked to them in person. If you have the stock clutch still then look into replacing the clutch along with the master cyl/slave cyl/tob. You can get the GM upgrade clutch and all parts for about $417 the install is extra. Balazin07ss just did it and resurfaced his flywheel. He has had no complaints

i have the same issue but its only in first gear for mine. i was goin to bleed the clutch to see if it helped. seein as puttin alot of heat generated from the motor might have boiled the brake/clutch fluid or thinkin that the professional shops have fucked up yet another clutch install with impropper bleeding. also my neighbor is a mechanic and thats what he said. so hopefully it works. just gotta get someone to help bleed the clutch.

this only happens to me when i floor the car from like 2nd all the way to like mid 4th or maybe all of 3rd gear. so ur saying i should check the brake/clutch fluids as well? and now for some reason every morning when i turn the car on it gives me a power reduce message on the dash. and i have to let the car warm up after it passes 130 degrees, turn it off, turn it back on and its fine...but then i get this unstable idle when am in gear and switch to neutral...=z
