My 2002 IS 300 has just starting making an audible clicking noise when the car is in Park and I press the brake pedal.

I know the purpose of the shift lock, but hearing the noise is new - it's been silent up until now (21+ yrs/93k miles)

Here's my questions:

1. Since it started making noise, is this an indication that something will soon fail, making it impossible to shift out of Park?
2. If the answer to 1 above is 'yes', has anyone diagnosed the specific issue and repaired/replaced the offending part(s) ?
3. If the answer to 2 above is 'yes', can you point me to some part number(s) / instructional videos on repairing/replacing the part(s)

Thanks.

 

If it's come from the rear it's your parking break needs adjustment. Let me know if thatbworked for you to.
