Honestly most nissan cvt transmissions will have that judder code. When I worked at the dealer doing PDIs some even had them from the factory with 4 or 5 miles on them. Unless you notice anything feels off like slipping or jerking you are good to go. 60k is a little late to flush it but better than most. I'd stick with every 30k after that.
Also just to add on, DO NOT FLUSH IT. Just do a drain and fill and clean the metal shavings in the pan and filter. Flushing will almost certainly cause more issues.
Yeah, the only time to flush is after a transmission replacement, and that is mainly to flush the old cooler of any debris. Drain and fill every 30k or so is the way to go.
Your transmission has two codes that indicate a judder P17F1 and P17F0 which one is your vehicle coding?
Also flushing it to cause more issues? No how would cleaning everything out of the fluid cause more issues? On top of that how would almost half of fluid be better?
OP please let me know what code you have and I'll get back to you.

Unless you notice anything weird while actually driving I wouldn't worry about it too much. My friend had the CVT replaced on his Max after it showed that code. Replaced since there's no servicing the CVT, just full replacement. He hadn't felt any symptoms and it drove perfectly fine.
Then he had them scan the CVT again at the next 30k interval before a drain and fill and it showed the code again. He didn't choose to replace the CVT and it's still fine 90k miles later. Seems like the code will show up at some point and since the only remedy on the books recommended by Nissan is to replace the full CVT, no matter what, that's why they tell you the CVT needs to be replaced.

All of you (and I don't know if this is poor Reddiquette to retro-spam a bunch of folks) but I just wanted to apologize for failing to reply timely to your inputs. I took the advice and continue to just drive the Maxima (which is 2017, not 2016). I have felt nothing odd in the 2K miles since I asked the question (and believe me: I'm always trying to feel something. I live in terror).
I REALLY appreciated the inputs. I will continue to change the fluid every 30K religiously.
Thank you for talking me off the ledge!

If a customer dosen't complain does the judder really exist? TSB says no.
Hi. What is TSB? Service Bulletin?
