Car: 94 Talon tsi AWD, with lsd and stock mounts
Problem:
When I take off from a stop sign or light (even slowly) I hear my wheels spin. Started about a week ago. When I shift from 1st to 2nd, I hear the same squeal/spin. Same sound when I shift from 2 to 3 and now recently (since ysterday) from 3rd to 4th.
This sound is reminiscent of what would happen on hard takeoff and from 1st to 2nd in my 95 GST (except in that case it would happen on hard takeoffs, not slow takeoffs like I'm doing now)
All of the above described problem on my 94 talon awd is not hard shifting or anything severe - I do it at VERY low speed (in fact, I saw it was happening even without me going into boost).

History and background:
I DO shift hard and take off hard almost all the time and this is my DD. I stopped doing this a week ago and started shifting like an old lady for the last week until I know for sure that I'm not in the process of breaking anything.

What the hell is slipping? Why are my wheels slipping?
