Default Putting the GS in Park?

Ever since i got my SC430 shift **** when i put the car in Park and let off the brake the car will roll back a hair and then make this click sound like the car is going into gear? Is this normal? I think it did before with the stock **** but don't remember.. Everything else is fine..

thanks

Tony

Check to see if your **** **** is all the way down. If it is screwed all the way down, then maybe unscrew it a little to lift it, and re-try putting it into park. if it still does it, then its just your tranny.

honestly, when i place my car in park, it rolls back a little bit depending on the grade of the ground im on.

u might also wanna try engaging your e-brake. if it still rolls with the e-brake fully on, then you may have a problem.

let us know how it works out.

Yes the garage is on a slight grade but nothing major.. Right now the **** is all the way tighten but if i loosen it it may be to loose to be handled.. It won't be tight you know... The tranny shifts fine when driving so i think that area is ok... i maybe just beating a dead horse... i get paranoid sometimes..

Thanks guys...
