Is your car auto or manual?
When was the last time the fluids (ALL fluids) in your car were changed? If it hasn't been done, I'd suggest having a look at the gearbox oil to see if it looks normal.
clarence you know this has been going on a while now lol...
at a stab in the dark, the fluids, should have been changed... well lets see, in over 12 months, with a services, warranty replacements, um, the fact it has been in the shop at least once a month this year... and pretty much ever since the engine was changed. they "should" have been changed many many many times by now.. and the most recent of which was done less that 2k kms ago....

well one should be safe to assume that on a service, between 95k and 140, that it would have been changed..... then again, this is subaru mechanics
They wouldn't have changed the gearbox during any service intervals unless it had a specific issue.
I can see where Clarence is going with this one...
So, you've had you engine changed. Therefore it would be pretty safe to say that the engine is not the issue. You've mentioned serveral times before that the issue is apparent throughout all gear changes.
It might be worthwhile invesitageing wheter there is an issue with your gearbox/clutch/drivetrain rather than continuing to focus on engine issues.
Thoughts?

Pity you're not in Melbourne Kurt, I have a top workshop down here who would be able to diagnose and pinpoint the problem.
I have a friend who is an apprentice mechanic at a Ford dealership, and after hearing his (and others') stories about what mechanics do there, I will no longer be doing a book service at a Subaru dealership.

I would have gone to the kitchen, collected a brown bag, dropped my dacks, pinched off a loaf in said bag, done up dacks, stickytaped bag, placed bag in envelope, and mailed it right to your face for being such a tool.
It's ok, sometimes when we herp, we also derp.

My brother duz, remember K.? he's got some equipment/computer that can pinpoint probs.to be honest mate no, cause of the warranty issues, ive kept it with subaru, hoping that if one day, heaven forbid that the car was the lemon that it is, that if i had a good service history that it would work in my favour.. pffft.. how dearly i was mistaken..
is there someone around that has the same sort of computers, and equipment that subaru would have,?? just some grey matter between thier ears?
He said he'd check it out 4 u when u come down here
