I think they all do that to a greater or lesser extent (mine does). If it goes away when the car is warmed, then you aren't having a mechanical problem.
My dealer said a Subaru tech note suggested over filling the gearbox by 0.5L if it is notchy. I can't verify this as I haven't tried it.
Cheers,
Alex
