The Subie maps are crap, get an AccessPort and do a stage 1 reflash and all the problems go away.

Mine surges to 1500-3100 rpm while I am simply arriving at or sitting at a stop light. Who else out there is dealing with the engine surge at low speeds or idle?

This is just a general rule. Putting weight on the gear leaver can cause unnecessary wear on pretty much any car. I wouldn’t blame Subaru. This is just a general rule.

It may pick up a buzzing noise after a few months though and need to be re-tightened.

Had it since early February. On a side note, it is always recommended to not leave your hand on the shifter while driving, this is not a Subaru thing.

For the most part, the problem with the motor's seemed to be limited to the 07/08 and 08/08 build dates. Check out: http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1695936 This is the 'unofficial registry' and you can note the build dates that seemed to have the most problems. I believe, and hope, that the problem has been fixed and will no longer be such a visible problem. Hey Mitch,
