I’ve replaced one on my old liberty and now need to do one my wife’s XT. It is pretty easy to do even with limited mechanical knowledge.
Drain the transmission fluid first then remove the drive shaft from the back of the transmission by unbolting the uni joint and sliding it out.
The job is a bit easier if you unbolt the transmission cross-member and lower the transmission slightly on a trolley jack so you can access the top bolts.
Carefully split the transfer housing off the back of the transmission. The MTP clutch assembly and duty C solenoid will come out with the housing.
Unbolt it and swap in your new one. Clean the mating surfaces and put back together with a new gasket.
If you output shaft seal isn’t leaking you will probably get away using it again but I would put a new one in to be safe.
Fill transmission with new fully synthetic ATF and enjoy.
I understand there are 4 different version of the Duty C solenoid over the years so make sure you get the right one.
Go to a Subaru dealer and give them your VIN number to make sure you get the right solenoid and gasket.

No, that's duty solenoid 'A' and you want duty solenoid 'C'.
Subscribe to the Ausubaru Forum and send a message to a user named "Frog".
He might be able to sort you out.
You need the one with the green wire attached in this picture.
(not my photo but if you google duty solenoid c replacement there's heaps of pics, you may even find a part number this way)

That's what I was telling the guy at the Subaru parts counter, even showed him a picture.
He couldn't find it.
I'm on AU, I'll pm him.

Is this it?
14 Valve assembly-transfer clutch 31942AA103
(this is S10 European forester - so check your part numbers, but the name might help your parts guy)
Trawl through https://opposedforces.com/parts/forester and you'll find it.
