Hence, the reason why techs at dealerships say "oh that's normal," but they have no clue.

Let me put it more plainly, my DCT would also flutter when I put it into reverse and engaged the accelerator. When I first bought the M5 brand new, the DCT did not do this, and then when I re-built the transmission, the DCT did not do this anymore. I don't know how much more clear I can be on this topic.
can you relay this to your SA for me
