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.
