Why is there a clicking sound when shifting gears in an automatic transmission?

Shifting gears without coming to a complete stop; Incorrect operation sequence when parking on a slope; Malfunction in the gear shifting mechanism; Wear and tear on transmission gears, etc. Incorrect operation when parking on a slope: In automatic transmission vehicles, the P (Park) gear relies on a locking hook to secure the gear and keep the vehicle stationary. When parking on a slope, you should first engage the handbrake and then shift to P gear. This allows the handbrake to bear the vehicle's sliding force. If you shift to P gear first and then engage the handbrake, the sliding force of the vehicle will be entirely borne by the P gear's locking hook, causing tension between the hook and the gear. In this case, shifting from P gear to other gears will produce a clicking sound. Malfunction in the gear shifting mechanism: Many automatic transmission vehicles with gear levers actually use mechanical structures to shift gears. Over time or due to corrosion, the connecting parts of the gear shifting mechanism can become loose or stuck, resulting in a clicking sound when shifting gears.
