Clicking noises
Let me preface this post that I have read all the clicking noise posts. Our '08 c6 auto was click free until today when I changed the front brake pads. Upon completion I pumped the brakes and the noise began from the transmission well area. Our car already had the newer 5 prong relay but I bought another one and changed it out. The noise continues. Has anyone come up with an approach that has worked yet?

im having a similar issue but mine occurs when i turn left...last time this happened, the dealer changed out the bearings which resolved it...im guessing its the same thing again....as for it being caused after the brake pad change, id wonder what else has changed or if something isnt in place?

My '05 does t hat from time to time (the warner it is, the more it does it). I've learned to just ignore it.

Its possible that the clicking is likely the lock out solenoid that prevents you from taking the car out of park without your foot on the brake. You just probably noticed it because you were listening and it was there all the time.
