I figure that since I got 225,000 miles out of the original, I'll be happy if I get that out of the replacement.

It's the clutch fork.
With the new fork installed, the clutch feels better than it has in a while. I think the fork must have been on it's way out for quite some time.
It broke right on a weld. If you look at the picture of the back of both forks, you can see the broken on has a reinforcement plate welded in, while the new one does not. The new fork instead has taller sides. I guess Subaru figured out that the welded plate was a bad idea.

It's nice to see that a replacement part has been improved to address the original parts weakness! That doesn't always happen...

Yeah, in my Googling I had read breaking an arm off on the weld and wearing through the pivot were the two most common failure modes for the fork.

That's OK, you still get credit for it.

Your trans seems to not be connected to the engine. I suspect that is where you issue lies.*

Well, the initial problem was that the engine was TOO connected to the transmission. Changing it so that the engine was not connected at all was the first step in fixing the issue.
