Question about 2011 transmission

Hi. I have 2011 E350 sport 4matic with 600 miles on it. Wonder if you guys have heard of this. When I shift say from park, to drive, reverse etc., I can actually hear the car shifting if standing outside of the car. Is this normal? I don't remember having this issue with my 2009 E. I also don't remember hearing this in prior weeks until recently.

"Clink! Clink!" on my 2011 E550. Especially coming into and out of Park.

Yes. It sounds something like that. So this is normal?

Dunno, but it sounds OK to me. The tranny is right out there in the air.

Yeah, it's pretty audible from Park to any Gear, and back. I don't know why, but I assume it has to do with the way it's linked to the "differently" operating shifter.
