you got air in ur brake lines.. put on all the ss lines on first then have someone help u bleed ur brakes.. you could do it urself but it might take some time.. i dont know about the clickin sound, but when u have no pressure that almost always means air in the brake lines..

The noise is normal in your shifter and you have air in the line, you have to bleed the brakes.

Unless you have the special tools to bleed the brakes by yourself, bleeding the brakes is a 2 person job. One to press down the pedal while the other person opens and closes the bleeder screw.

If you have an Auto, the clicking noise is a relay.

The relay is used to check that you have your foot on the brake before it will allow you to shift out of PARK
