I'll just chime in to give you a little more confidence that the shifting is an SVX trait. The reason being that, when the SVX was developed, they couldn't put in a five-speed (according to the engineers at the 10th Anniversary Meet, they didn't have one that would take the torque of the SVX at the time), so, they tuned the TCU to "fake" a more "manual transmission feel," as if (as you say) the clutch is being let out. So, sleep well and enjoy your car.

I'll also say that the tires could very well be your problem. Change them ASAP or you might very well have some tranny problems in the near future. Get new ones all the way 'round.

Welcome to the Network, and may you have many happy years with your SVX.
Thanks, I'll have Stanley Subaru (my local dealer) take a look at that when I have them flush the tranny and change the oil. I can't do anything about it very soon sadly. I don't have a ton of money. How much on average would new tires cost all the way around?
