Good job at not ignoring what your car is trying to tell you

Clicking does not sound particularly right but these cars have many moving parts interacting. It's not always easy to single out noises. There is an external shifting module that relay the command commands for "P R N D" - It does make noise to select mode but none afterwards during driving.

> Did your tranny ATF get serviced on schedule or near 50kMi?

Perhaps it's not the tranny but rather transfer case bearings.... Get someone to diagnose your car or post an MP4 video clip.

No problem: 100% normal .
​​​​​​What I heard is what I mentioned above:
