It's possible that excess play at outboard bushings at clutch cross
shaft are causing the noise.

I had a "creaking" or "groaning" noise that happened when slowly
pushing the clutch pedal down. I was able to sneak some lube in to
those bushings from the outside and in through the bolt hole where
bolt threads in to secure those bushings in place. Doing so didn't
cure the issue but it seemed to quell the noise temporarily which in
turn seemed to rule out master or slave as cause.

The play at bushings was visibly obvious; if I gently levered up on
the cross shaft I could see the slop.
