Is250 Auto Gearbox Question

[spacemonkey83]

I posted another topic in engine and transmission but I'd like to ask generally:

Does the gearbox make a "click" noise when moving into park/neutral/drive (when stationary), or should it be silent?

*Only audiable when the window/door is open.

Thanks

If it's barely audible and not annoying than I think the sound you are referring to is normal. If you leave your car switched off and move out of Park using the Shift Lock, you should be able to hear the sweet sound of the transmission box. Hopefully this is exactly what you have been hearing.

It's just a click click as it passes each setting, only can hear if the door or window is open. What does the little black button that says shift lock do?

allows gearsstick movement when vehicle is not running or brake presssed

eg if you broke down and wanted to move to neutral for recvery onto a tower or if you wanted to puch it to a safe place but vehcile non start
