a "click" when the car is on park with the engine running and they push down the break to change it to gear?

yesterday i went driving. and when i when i got in, i turned on the car and when i hit the brake to get the car into gear i heard a click coming from the
selector leveler (where the shift **** is).

is this normal? it didnt sound dangerous or anything, but just curious that i hadnt ever noticed it.

 

You've never driven an automatic before?

 

are you trying to imply that all automatics do this?

..and yes i have. ive been driving this gs for 5 years now. thats why i said, im just curious, because ive never noticed it before.

 

The "click" is the brake shift interlock. This is the device that prevents the gear shifter from moving when your foot isn't on the brake.

 

Yes...there's a "click" every time you move the shifter.

It's louder than some other automatics I've owned, but it's normal.

 

awesome. thanks you guys. i wasnt too worried, because i know ive never messed with the brakes, so i knew it was either normal, or something that messed up on its own and not by me lol.
was just wondering, i hadnt noticed it before. but yeah it makes sense.
just wanted to make sure it wasnt anything to worry about. i was thinking it was a sign of old age

 

i love that sound lolll

 

love that sound. wayy better then grinding =P
