My 2013 Altima had the same issue with shuddering. I flushed my cvt transmission, found out it had the wrong type Nissan cvt oil. When you pop the hood you will see a tag around where the fan cover area and shows the type of cvt oil. I put in the correct oil from Nissan and haven’t had any more problems. I hope this will help someone out there.
