I have an '07 cobalt with the 2.4L and it's automatic...I recently put my foot on the break to take it out of park and there's this clicking noise that I hear and don't think I've heard before. The clicking is coming from inside where the shifter is, wondering if anyone knows anything about this? I was actually bringing it to the dealership tomorrow cause it's under warrenty plus a few other problems...

 

might be something wrong wit the shifter...i had my replace cause my shifter was broklen

 

It's the safety pin or whatever inside (dont know the technical name) moving so you can shift it out of P. There's a safety interlock that only allows you to shift out of P with your foot on the brake. That's just the interlock disengaging.

 

But is it suppose to make that predominate clicking noise? Cause I don't think I've heard it before.

 

thats exactly what it is ... shift interlock cable and that is even the technical term lol

its a safety feature so you cant take car out of park without engageing the brake pedal

 

my car is doing the same thing only it make the clicking noise everytime I press my brake, even when I am driving and I know it hasn't always done that..

 

It's normal. My cobalt has done it since I bought it, and so have all the other cobalts on our lot. Nothing to worry about!

 

Normal. Almost all automatics do it now a days.

 

All the dealer will do is most likely grease it so that you wont here the click so much,or maybe there is a little shock obsorbing material that is wore through or missing which dampens the click.
