Weird noise after Reversing
I have a Fit Sport 5-speed w/ paddle shift and every time I reverse and then put it back to either D or S mode I hear a weird noise. Sound like a click or something. I just wanted to make sure its normal.
I got used to my (EP3 w/ MT) thats why and after getting my Fit a few days ago I don't even drive it anymore.

I posted this elsewhere too, but it's probably the brakes:
" Why do my brakes make a single “click” noise when I back out of a parking place and once again when I drive forward?
A clearance between the brake caliper brackets and the ends of the brake pads allows for heat expansion and avoids corrosion between the caliper bracket and the brake pads. That clearance can cause the pads to hit the caliper brackets when you first apply the brakes in a new directions of travel. When you back up and apply the brakes and then drive forward and apply the brakes, the single “click” noise you hear is a normal characteristic of the brake system.

Are we sure it's not the transmission? I hear the same noise, but I'm never touching the brakes when I hear it....and it really doesn't seem like it's coming from the brake calipers...it sounds like the transmission..? See this thread:

Every Honda I've ever had with an automatic transmission has made a noise after going from R to D. But this is the only one that has done it from day ONE. The others did it after break-in or thereabouts. So I consider it normal.

Then again, I haven't driven it much, and I have the base model, so maybe there is a difference.
And I am still so excited about having a brand new car, that it's possible a nuclear weapon could land nearby and I wouldn't notice it either.

I actually hear two clicks in my car. The first one I was told was the brake pads realigning after a different direction of travel. The second is the transmission changing gears. I had the same 2 noises in my 05 Accord. I figure they are normal. The Accord only had 36,000 miles. I hope this helps.
