Take the care back to the Subie dealership that did the trans and have them do the following:

Nah. Telling them what exactly what to do will only work if you know exactly what is wrong and what needs to be done. Unfortunately you problem is not very typical.
Tell them exactly the symptoms (shudder and grinding noise), tell them when it happens (slowing down from X mph to Y mph and accelerating to Z mph all this while going in a straight line). Tell them it is abnormal shudder and noise and they have to fix it.
Get a mechanic from the shop to drive with you (you drive) until you manage to reproduce the shudder. If you don't like the mechanic who did the work, ask the service manager to ride with you.
If they deny hearing noise/feeling shudder you may have to mention SOA or take it to another dealership, but more likely it will click in their head "ahh, this shudder" and they take it from there.
Try to be cooperative with them - they have to witness the problem before they can fix it. They can't ship the tranny back to Subaru and get another one until they really see for themselves that the tranny does not work right. From what you are describing the problem is more likely to be internal to the tranny, not a shop's fault.
And what does it take to fix the problem - adjust the band brake or replace the whole thing, that should not be your worry.
