When I put my car in gear, drive or reverse, a 2 to 3 second clicking noise comes from the transmission area. I took it to the dealer and they said it was common in Chrysler vehicle. They said it was a box with several solenoids clicking through its sequence. The sound is very noticeable in garages.
