A clutch assembly comprising: a clutch housing having an internal surface that defines an inner cavity within said clutch housing; a shaft disposed within said inner cavity of said clutch housing, said shaft extending along a longitudinal axis and having an outer surface; a clutch pack disposed radially between said clutch housing and said shaft that selectively couples rotation of said clutch housing and said shaft; said clutch pack including a first end and a second end opposite said first end such that said second end is longitudinally spaced from said first end; said clutch pack including a backing plate disposed at said first end of said clutch pack, said backing plate being retained on one of said clutch housing and said shaft such that said backing plate cannot move longitudinally relative to said clutch housing and said shaft beyond a predetermined limit; said clutch pack including an applied plate disposed at said second end of said clutch pack that is moveable along said longitudinal axis relative to said clutch housing and said shaft; said clutch pack including a plurality of friction plates disposed between said backing plate and said applied plate, said plurality of friction plates being moveable along said longitudinal axis relative to said clutch housing and said shaft; said clutch pack including a plurality of reaction plates disposed between said backing plate and said applied plate in an interleaving relationship with said plurality of friction plates, said plurality of reaction plates being moveable along said longitudinal axis relative to said clutch housing and said shaft; and a primary actuator that selectively applies a first pressure to said applied plate at said second end of said clutch pack to move said second end of said clutch pack toward said first end of said clutch pack, longitudinally compress all of said friction plates and reaction plates in said clutch pack, and couple rotation of said clutch housing and said shaft, characterized in that the clutch assembly further comprises a secondary actuator that selectively applies a second pressure to at least one plate (62a, 64a) in said plurality of friction plates and said plurality of reaction plates, in the same direction as said first pressure, to longitudinally move said at least one plate (62a, 64a) independently of said applied plate at said second end of said clutch pack, wherein the independent movement of said at least one plate (62a, 64a) provided by said secondary actuator only compresses a portion of said clutch pack disposed between said at least one plate (62a, 64a) and said backing plate. a clutch housing having an internal surface that defines an inner cavity within said clutch housing;
