A clutch assembly is provided including a controller, a plurality of vibration sensors, a clutch housing containing a lubricated clutch pack having a friction interface, a clutch piston responsive to a current command from the controller and operable for applying a compression force on the clutch pack, and a high-frequency (HF) oscillation source configured to generate at least one HF oscillation, and to direct the HF oscillation to the friction interface, wherein the controller is operable to detect clutch shudder and activate the source in response thereto to minimize the clutch shudder. The source includes HF hardware, and generates different HF oscillations applied directly to the clutch housing or to the clutch-apply current command. A method of reducing clutch shudder includes setting a threshold clutch shudder amplitude, detecting clutch shudder, and applying a HF oscillation to a friction interface to minimize clutch shudder when the detected shudder exceeds the threshold.
