Thanks to the fine folks on here who posted about the TSB 13-053 (for those interested, it is attached), the dealer just completed it and I picked up my car (14 LX) this afternoon. I ensured that the dealer put back in CVT transmission (it was on the work ticket) and confirm they did - I read about a dealer who put regular automatic fluid in it and was a fiasco.
I had the hesitation and juddering described in the TSB, albeit very mild (enough for the tech to notice when we drove it this morning), so they agreed to do the work in the TSB (I had a printed copy of it and they agreed it needed to be done, my VIN was in the range).
I can tell you that in the short drive from the dealer to my work (approx. 7 miles), the difference in the transmission smoothness is night and day. The vehicle no longer shakes when coming to a stop and isn't jerky at all.
The true test will be in the AM when it sits overnight, but, overall, it def. made a difference.
