Shifter click fix

Hey guys, my wife as a 2003 Jaguar X Type 2.5. Since we bought the car (2nd hand), when you apply the brake, the shifter gives a little click. It annoys the heck out of me! Is there any quick fix for this?

I used to remove the shifter trim then un screw the knob. Then remove the 4 screws that hold down the black shifter guide/ illumination module. Turn the key on and you can see the solenoid hitting the plastic. Get a piece of velcro ( the soft side ) and peel off the adhesive tape and tape it into the striking area. And reassemble
