Default Slipping Diff?

I have an '02 is 5speed with just over 6k miles. It has always been able to break the tires loose going into second gear if I take it to right around 6k RPM in first. (Not that I ever do that ) In the last week, I have noticed a slight squeak-squeal coming from the driveline and it being less willing to break the tires loose. I am wondering if I have hurt something somehow. Maybe I'm paranoid. I really am not brutal on the car, just enjoy it.

Default Slipping Dif? Clutch? ???

I am thinking maybe it is something to do with the traction control, although I always turn it off. I have problems believing it could be the clutch, but it just doesn't seem to bite quite like it did. Has anyone experienced anything similar?
