Systems and methods to control an amount of axial clearance within a clutch transmission system are disclosed. A propulsion system includes a clutch transmission system having clutch vibratory response clearance control logic configured to iteratively control the amount of axial clearance within the clutch transmission system so as to achieve a desired, e.g., consistent and/or limited, clutch vibratory response.
