I am getting this wierd metal clicking noise from the automatic transmission when I push break pedal and the transmission is in 'Parking' position. I just bought my new Maxima SE 2001 a few days ago. I am going back to the dealer next week to check it out. Any ideas? Anybody had similar problem? Is it a problem at all?

you are releasing the shift lock which is necessary to move the car out of Park. Perfectly normal.

 

Thank you for your response. I got worried because I have never heard anything like that on other cars.

perfectly normal???, you think they could make it silent or non existent. I am going back to the dealer also.

Believe me with all the screwy noises that my Max makes that is small beans...heh lol..

I think it may even say that in the Manual...maybe not...

 

replaced at times with a 'thunk'. hmmm. Nah.. not even gonna worry about it
