New K40 cartridge free-flutter... Are we sure?

I'm really depressed about this. I was planning to shoot a film soon. Now I feel like giving up on Super8 altogether. It hardly makes me feel it's worthwhile making an effort to make a good film if it's going to look like shit however I do it due to Kodak's neglegence. I have a test film to send off, at it sounded like shit running through the camera

Hi, just got 3 k40s back, all with jitter, have 2 to send for processing, am dreading the outcome...think mine were part of the 1st faulty batch,but not sure......3631 0990 and 3631 0990.. spoke to kodak uk, they advised me they are faulty and to return my existing stock for replacement...

I cleaned very thoroughly the worst of the four reels that were jittery and the problem was solved. The other reels I've yet to clean, but things are looking up.

Makes me wonder:

To all of you experiencing jitter with the new carts:

Are you:

A) Detecting jitter during projection or
B) after transfered to tape/DV? If yes, which transfer method used?

Might be a key to pinpoint a problem.
