For starters, and having owned an All Wheel Drive Subaru myself, I must mention that these cars wear through "standard" replacement clutches like no-ones business.
This is due to the extra strain on the all wheel drive drivetrain.
for $40 the fix sounds like the cable just needs adjusting...
I am guessing that yours is probably the same as mine.
How to fix (disclaimer do this at your own peril - you asked and i'm trying to answer)
1. Get someone to sit int he car and press the clutch pedal while you stand with the bonnet open and check to see where the clutch cable is.
2. Once you have identified the clutch cable, you will need 2 spanners (10 millimetres and 12 millimetres) to shift the position of the two different sized nuts on the adjuster (bolt looking bit)
3. I can't remember whether further in or further out tightens up the adjustment
4. Good luck
5. I just sold my Subaru because I couldn't afford the maintenance - it was the best thing I ever did !
