I have an appointment next week for my exhaust so I'll ask the mechanic. I noticed it going up my driveway which is solid ice. So I put it in neutral so I couldn't drift back then get a better startCould this be the brake interlock safety? Just like pulling the shifter out of park you have to press the foot brake to get it to move.
I was thinking you are just hearing the lock solenoid click in or out????
Please report back if you find otherwise.
You may be right the TRX has an electronic parking brake which does make a unique noise when you engage and disengage the parking brakeCould this be the brake interlock safety? Just like pulling the shifter out of park you have to press the foot brake to get it to move.

It's when it's in neutral and I fully press the brake and release. It's on the release that I hear the thump which I think is coming from the shifter. Also I noticed when I shut it off in park in made the same noise
It's normal. Same exact thing on my GC when I had it. Just a brake safety feature.
Oh good I was nervous
That’s my guess also. They all have a safety lock on the shifters now so children can’t accidentally put it in gear.Could this be the brake interlock safety? Just like pulling the shifter out of park you have to press the foot brake to get it to move.

Ha, was that you?Someone may or may not have put their dad's Chevy Blazer (from the 70's) into gear while standing in the seat many, many years ago!

First car I owned had a stick. Teenage me was on the freeway and wondered if there was a safety mechanism stopping you going into reverse. Teenage me tries it. Turns out the safety mechanism is hearing the gears roleplay a chainsaw cutting metal
Out of curiosity. What exactly would following your suggestion on messaging you in addition to taking it in do? Do you tie the cases together? To what purpose?
LMAO only because we all had to try that at least once.
