I believe they used the TSB as leverage to get the CVT repaired. My subaru dealer called back and said it was specifically the torque converter and that the repair will be covered, no charge to me. Repair will be covered under the warranty not the TSB. They should have it done by Friday.
I was able to recreate the stalling in my car. I kinda wish I got video of it. But the way I was able to get it to stall was:
Let me just preface this by saying, this worked on my Legacy. It may or may not work for yours. Please be extremely careful trying this. I won't be responsible for damage to you, your legacy or any other property. Find a place where you can try this. Open parking lot or something. Just be careful.
Okay....
Put the car in drive and drive normally for a about 15-20 sec.
Then put it in manual mode.
Continue to drive normally using the paddle shifter.
Find a stop sign. Preferably one where there's not a lot of traffic.
Coming up to a stop sign don't use the paddle shifters to lower the gears.
As you apply the brake to slow down, when you get close to the stop sign press more firmly on the brake, almost like a short stop.
When I did this the car shuddered terribly, stalled then died. I had to put it in park then restart the car.
Good Luck.
