Transmission shifting noise
Anyone here linkage or the sound of metal plates moving when shifting from park into reverse or forward? I'm sorry but I can't adequately describe it.

Any chance of recording? If you are talking about the parking pawl click/tick sound then that is normal or are you talking about the parking brake engaging and disengaging?

Hopefully today. The wife is taking the car out. The third time solo in almost 1 year. I have the recording app going while she starts and switches gears. Hopefully it will record it. I hope it's not drowned out by the engine.

Tried to record it when my wife backed out. It didn't work out. I'll have to try it again. I'll put the phone under the car before I start and pull out. We'll see if that works.

Depending on the recording app, there are different modes that uses different mics of the phone, maybe that might help. For example there are modes like interview, meeting, background, conversation to choose from. There are also other modes in the camera app video recording as well possibly if you are not using the voice recording app.

Thus far, I have failed to properly record the sound. I will keep trying.

Ah no worries, take your time as long as it is not a safety concern and not affect the drivability. There is something called chassis ears that you could purchase they are basically electronic ears and are more precise in recording certain sounds.
