The flutter may be edge damage on the audio track edge of the cassette. If the audio level goes up and down, the warped edge of the tape may be lifting away from the head just a bit as it goes by. The edge (I forget which...upper or lower) will have a wavy look to it.

Find a tape that is presenting the problem and eject it at that point and open the door to look at it...the fingernail pressing the little buttons at each end of the door assembly will let you open it.
