Shuddering
When I pull away in 1st there is an almighty shudder.. the more revs the less the shudder... WTF is it, it started after the long Idle at the BBO ???

Probably uneven deposits on the clutch plates surfaces. Try a couple of banzaii starts, it'll either clear it or highlight the need for a new clutch.

5k revs in first, drop clutch and flat to floor. Through gears to 80-ish. If it's deposits it should clear it, if not it could be a big bill

About 14 months ago on here someone posted the bulletin from Subaru which stated this was a known fault on bugeyes and was to be fixed under warranty.
If you do a search you might find it.

This worked for me on my my99 classic, my dealership advised me to do this to sort the problem.
