    hi
    the car was checked by the main services of Subaru and they said: "this is how that gear should work".
    i was driving by a few Subaru Legacy B4 at the same model and some of them has the same "problem".
    i even send a letter to the centeral Subaru company in Japan and they ask Subaru in Israel (where i live) to check the car.
    they checked again the car with a computer and thay said that it because the car has all 4 wheel drive.
    almost every time i stoped the car ( slowly) i feel it and it feels bad.
    waiting for your comment
    best regards

1992 subaru legacy (manual transmission) accelerating problems

Manual transmission subarus have a 'hill holder' feature that is part of the braking system; when you stop on a slight incline, engage the clutch, and step on the brake at the same time, you can take your foot off the brake and the car will not roll backwards. When you go to accelerate and release the clutch the hill holder disengages and allows normal operation.
I suspect that this feature was somehow altered when your brake service was performed. It's activated via a cable that is tied to your clutch cable; the hill holder cable toggles a switch on a mechanism that applies brake fluid to one (or two, depending on model year) brake calipers. I'd start here. If you google hill holder you should find some diagrams of what I'm speaking.
I had a 1995 Legacy with this feature; I disabled when it began malfunctioning. Took 20 minutes as the bolt is in a difficult location but immediately noticed it was much easier to depress the clutch pedal.
Oh yes, my malfunction was so bad (and improperly diagnosed by the local brake 'specialists') that the brakes would lock up while driving and I couldn't move the car! I destroyed my left front brake caliper before figuring out the culprit on my own.

Hope it's an easy fix whatever it is!
