Greetings all,
I am asking for some advice. My 2008 Armada is past its warranty which expired in Nov and of course, some problems are starting to arise.
I have always noticed a clicking sound in my gear shifter when i apply the brakes (I assume Shift Lock Solenoid) well lately, I notice when I try to shift from Park to Reverse, or sometimes Park to Drive, there is a little resistance with a click as I am am shifting it to R or D. It's as if something is blocking the way. Additionally, when I do shift it into gear I can feel the car move when its engaging into R or D...sometimes its loud, sometimes not. I was at a drive through and I had it in P and when I shifted to R, i heard a loud click under the engine cause i had the windows down). I have done a lot of research so I have come to conclusion of:
For resistance and clicking:
1. Shift Lock Solenoid
For slight movement after shifting
1. Worn U Joint(s)
2. Drive Shaft
My armada has 69,500 miles (I know, barely breaking in)
Please advise your thoughts and or suggestions as I am no longer under warranty and I feel more and more problems are going to surface after this beast gets paid off in a few months.
Thanks in advance.
