I'm not sure I described the sound accurately it sounds kinda like screeching disk brakes on a mountain bike, it bloody awful.

I had this exact same problem at close to 100,000 kms.
It is the flywheel, apparently the early model "dual mass" flywheels weren't that great. The options are either replace the dual mass with a new one, which is stupidly expensive, like $2,000 plus or something, or you can do a "single mass" clutch conversion.
I did the second option. However I do have some advice to give you. I went cheap and got a bottom of the range OEM replacement by excedy. Good brand and everything but the clutch is shit. I would stick to a Subaru specialist/ genuine parts. You can ask your mecahnic to get subaru kits. They cost $1,000 for the whole lot. I only saved $150-200 so in hindsight I should've gone with genuine so I had a quality clutch made for a Subaru.
Hope you don't have the same crappy feeling cheap clutch as an end result like me. Good luck.
