You would know if the piston return spring(s) was broken. Your gas mileage would increase while the power would decrease.

It's most likely a worn frammistat, or else it has developed a hairline crack. This is a dealer-only item so don't expect your local NAPA store to carry it for a Subaru.

Refresh my memory: on a Subaru is the frammistat inline or parallel with the flux capacitor?

Oddly enough, it's both inline and parallel on a Subaru. That's the case because there are three frammistats, with two of them wired in parallel.

My bad. I should have remembered that.

Too bad it didn't come with the Mr. Fusion option.
