The latest suggestion is the transfer case and it will get better. It is not bgetting better. Any suggestions

Gid'ay Brett, welcome to the forum. Eastern Suburbs? I lived at Maroubra beach before I saw the light and moved up here to the North Coast.
Your problem would seem to be the Limited Slip Clutch, in the rear of the transmission housing. This clutch is used to prevent wheelspin from the front or rear wheels. It uses the C solenoid and transfer valve to operate it. The solenoid or valves would appear to have stayed in the applied position, to hold the clutch on, causing the noise and shuddering that you have found, as the drive line tries to unwind.
The fix is to remove the rear transmission housing and replace the "Transfer valve Assemble", this includes the solenoid and valve. As the clutch has been binding, it would be prudent to replace the clutch plates while the housing is off.
As you may know, the AWD system that is in our model is different to the US model, you may want to search the Down Under and European Forums for other posts on this problem. Your Friendly Subaru Dealer
can do the job, as any good mechanic could. Cost would be about $400.00.
