First Problem!

First Problem!
Set off to get my new tires installed this morning and ran into my first problem...
When applying the brake while in park to shift to drive, there is a audible clicking that I can feel through the shifter. Car drives fine but I want to tackle this before I'm stuck in PARK somewhere.
I assume this is a shifter solenoid of some sort that is failing?
Thank you for your help!

Honestly, I can't remember if mine was ever "silent and smooth". As far back as I can remember (it's not something I pay attention to though) it's almost always made a click or audible sound when I press the brake while I'm in Park.
Getting to the solenoid isn't too tough though. You can see it if you remove the leather trim surround on the shifter

I would like to get it back to how it was. It's a minor thing but one of the things I love about this car is it's smooooothness.
Can someone confirm the part that this is? Is it called a shifter lock-out solenoid or something similar I assume?
Can someone point me in the director of an exploded view of the shifter assembly?
Thanks for tolerating my rookie enthusiasm everyone!

There is a piece of rubber, a "bumper" of sorts that deteriorates over time and gives up the ghost so to speak, it's no biggie just makes an audible "click" when it does as the solenoid moves the gate to allow the shifter to move and it's no longer hitting "rubber". Jaguar ownership is not for the faint of heart.

I don't hear my click most of the time since I've tuned it out, but after reading this thread last night I paid attention this morning. The click was audible to be sure. No big deal to me considering other annoyances trump this one, like my clock LCD screen reading parts of time, incorrect time, and very rarely the correct time with full pixel output.
Jags are fun in part because of these little things.
