Outback "bucking" in low gears

Well I replaced my engine and clutch in my car and since then I haven't had the issue.

Sounds like a clutch problem.
Mine is dual mass also.

It is most likely to be a broken centre hub in the Dual Mass Flywheel. It is very common in the Outback and Forester. The EJ25 does put the extra torque through the box and Subaru didn't wish to keep replacing gearbox whilst in the warranty period.

I would suggest changing to a Solid Mass Flywheel from an earlier Outback and also use the standard clutch. I wouldn't go the HD clutch kit as clutches are cheaper to replace than gearboxes.
