2, Drain the CVT oil and transmission oil.
      - Drain until oil stops dripping.

3, There is sludge on the drain bolt, so remove it completely.

4, Replace with new HMMF

5, Hold the shift lever for at least 3 seconds in each range in order to circulate oil through all ranges.

6, Repeat steps 1 to 5 again.

7, Let the CVT completely cool down

8,  Start the engine and warm it up

9, Learn the operation of the start clutch.
– Increase the vehicle speed to 60km/h with no load and release the accelerator for more than 5 seconds.
Do this about 5 times

If the judder does not improve after performing the above steps, CVT replacement is required.

Automotive maintenance cannot determine the cause based on symptoms alone.
Be sure to perform diagnosis and inspection before determining the cause of the failure.
