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?
