Hi all
I got my jazz last year and ever since I’ve had it it’s had the same problem of the dreaded judder when accelerating from a stop.
Was quoted £800 by locks Honda dealer to replace clutch etc.
Used to happen all the time any incline or even when moving. However having looked through other forums and topics I found something being recommended so thought I’d share in case anyone has the same issue.
I used a product called XADO ex120 it’s apparently for most automatic gearboxes, cvt, tiptronic etc. Found mine on eBay.
It’s a small syringe of blue liquid which you put in via the dipstick for the atf fluid. I was doubtful as to how successful it would be but amazingly after barely a mile of driving the judder has gone away altogether. Pulls away smooth as anything now.
Down over a hundred miles since and still working like proper clutch. Can’t recommend it enough.
May not work for some people but fro about £15 I figured it was worth a go.
Good luck fellow jazzians.

The CVT judder is very common,particularly on cars that have not had their CVT fluid changed at the correct intervals. Honda reduced the change interval to 2 years or 25K miles,whichever is the sooner.
Only use the Honda supplied CVT-F fluid, nothing else.

I would suggest that once the magic potion has had time to dissolve the accumulated muck you change the CVT fluid. Most likely what comes out will be very mucky.

I have used Comma CVT oil which is also a substitute of Honda CVT F. Also add XADO additive. It has now resolved my problem.
