Vibration reduction mechanism for electric drive module

An electric drive module for an electrified vehicle, the electric drive module comprising:

• a transmission that is driven by an output of an electric motor and includes a first drive shaft and a second drive shaft, the transmission having a first gear set that selectively converts rotatable motion of the first drive shaft into rotatable motion of the second drive shaft in a first gear mode at a first drive ratio, and a second gear set that selectively converts rotatable motion of the first drive shaft into rotatable motion of the second drive shaft in a second gear mode at a second drive ratio, distinct from the first drive ratio;
• and
• a multispeed actuation mechanism (MAM) having a first disk rotatably coupled to an input shaft and a second disk rotatably coupled to an output shaft, wherein the MAM includes magnetic fluid therein wherein activation of the magnetic fluid causes the first and second disks to at least partially rotate concurrently whereby a limited slip condition occurs between the first and second drive shafts thereby mitigating vibrations in the electric drive module.
