Abstract
Methods and systems for evacuating lubricant from an area of an axle are described. The lubricant may be evacuated away from one or more clutches during low temperatures so that a clutch may be engaged while having to displace less lubricant to engage the clutch. In one example, an electric machine may be rotated to evacuate lubricant away from the clutch.
