My Jazz CVT suffers from gearbox judder - do you think Honda will contribute to repairs?

My Honda Jazz CVT has gearbox judder. My local (not Honda) garage made enquiries and was told to change the gearbox oil, which they did. The car was then just seven years old and had covered 32,000 miles. It cured the fault but now, at 38,500 miles, it has started to judder again. Do you think I have any chance of help if I go back to Honda or would another oil change be worth trying?

Probably the electromagnetic clutch. Surprisingly, Honda has been replacing some of these FOC, so you might be lucky.
