Just Changed Front Brakes and getting a clicking noise

99 Nissan Sentra (Automatic)

I just changed the front brakes(disc) and now when the car is in park and I press on the brake I am getting a clicking noise inside the Gear changing handle.

The brakes work great but I can't figure out why when in park and press down on the brake I get the click noise inside the gear changing handle.

Any thoughts?

That's actually the mechanism inside your gear selector that prevents you from shifting out of Park without stepping on the brake pedal. It's perfectly normal: Many automatic transmission cars do that right off the showroom floor.

So even though it didn't do that before I changed the brakes, it should be fine? Thanks so much, I thought I may have messed something up
