Guys,
You know when you hit the break in parking the car release the lock in the shift and then you can shift to reverse or drive, there is a clicking sound which is OK since I have heard it on other cars. Now if you are at a red light on drive (D)I can hear the clicking sound, itdoesnt happen all the time. it clicks once or twice whenat a red light.Not sure what that is, anyone has any idea?

 

mine does the same thing too when you let off the brake pedal. so every time i hit the brakes and release the pedal...click. any ideas? i can feel the click in the shifter, so maybe something is sticking

 

Inspect the rear brakes real well..the cable for the parking brake maybe transmitting the sound to the shifter area..

 

Carlton, I thinks that's the out of park solenoid. When your foot is on the break pedal it allows you to move the shift lever out of park. Mine did the same thing. Somehow the solenoid does not know you made it to drive, and clicks every time you let off the break.

You need a new j gate. around 350 from the dealer and a lot less from jag_genius. Send him a pm.

You will have to take out the center console. there is a steel pin you pull and slide the cable sideways then pop off the cable. (pin is located on some blue and red plastic pieces on the cable) the new j gate has a slight adjustment but you may need to adjust the cable at the bottom of the tranny behind a plate.

Solidx you may have the same problem. I know carltons description is the same as mine was.

 

Andy..I believe you are correct..brilliant ma man..and good job...

 

Dennis thanks for the help on the AC blows nice and cold.

 

My pleasure my friend..cheers[sm=icon_cheers.gif]

 

is jag_genius still around?? i have sent him some messages but got no reply. has anyone heard from him?

 

Nice AAndy... Thanks for the help. What big issue can this cause?

 

Actually it's quite normal..only noisy in some cases..I forgot all about that thing.

 

I think I'll save myself 3 C notes and live with the sound. Its not too annoying and I am used to it now. If anyone asks what it is, I will just politely tell them to "shut it"

 

 

So nothing to worry about - there is not noise in the this car at all except for the tires that are in very good shape but you know the get noisy with the road!
