Does it shutter whether rev match is turned on or off? Mine does not ever shutter and RM is always on.

No. Never in my M7. Something sounds loose, or worn.

To be fair, I can't remember ever staying in non-RevMatch mode. So, I'm not one of the C7 non-Rev users.....

Let someone else drive it and see if it does it. Maybe it’s just you if it doesn’t do it with rev match on?

You might want to check the brake fluid level in your clutch reservoir. Also use the Ranger method for removing the contaminated fluid and filling with new fluid.
