seems like clutch, when in 5th crusing, put foot down, if revs go up and car doesnt accelerate its clutch. mine started juddereing, hrs later it went.
will slip in any gear but 5th tends to be gear used for checking. but it can slip in 2nd if hard accelerating.

Classics are reknown for having "clutch judder", even replacement subaru clutches never fixed the problem, only after market ones did that 
And dumping your clutch will just hurt the drive train, you need to slip the clutch at 4k, get grip (greasy roads are not good for that either) then off you go

Dude had this problem since i got the Scooby
I got told its when you put a new clutch in an the flywheel doesnt get skimmed
I dumpded the clutch from 5k an it got rid of the judder. I just dump it when it comes back lol
Mine is a P plate

alright guys i just changed my clutch and flywheel at 70000 miles on a turbo 2000 as the clutch was slipping in fourth and fifth gear, and also there was a large judder. when i got the car back with the new genuine subaru replacement clutch, the judder that i had previously had was completely gone....not sure whether it was the new clutch or flywheel but one of them certainly did the trick!
