Abstract
A vehicle system for reducing vibrations on a vehicle includes an engine connected to an automatic transmission through a turbine of a torque converter clutch. A gearset is associated with the transmission and includes a sun gear, a ring gear and a pinion carrier. A gear clutch has a first clutch component fixed to a case of the transmission and a second clutch component fixed to the gearset. The first and second clutch components are configured to slip based on an enable condition being satisfied thereby mitigating vibrational modes experienced within the vehicle system.
