Thank you, Guru. I feel much better now that you have answered my question.

Thank you for your fast reply. Sorry for the confusion. I noticed this noise when the car was at a complete stop and my foot was on the brake. When I began to shift the car from park into drive to leave, I heard the clicking. It happens right at the time a new gear is engaged (regardless of the gear. ie. reverse, drive, and low). That said, I will hear two clicks when going from park to drive. Once entering into reverse and another going into drive. I do not hear anything while I am driving the car.

I recently purchased my dream real estate car, the '01 LS430. The car drives like a dream and has only 115K miles. My question is about the car's transmission linkage. With the car's interior close to "sound proof", I haven't noticed this clicking/ticking noise until today. While the driver's side window was down, I shifted the car into drive and heard a ticking/clicking noise with each engagement of a new gear. Is this normal for a car with this kind of mileage on it? The noise is definitely coming from inside the gearbox. Again, I just bought this car so I do not have any history to compare to. I really do LOVE driving/owning this car. Thanks in advance. Also, I bought this car "as is." Therefore, please avoid the comments about how you would take it back to where you bought it.
