hi, i almost id say 90% of the time get a small "roll" on the car even if I am on ground level, if I do putt he handbrake up I noticed I dont get the bang, the bang sounds like a bang from the front from the tranny maybe, but its def a bang and its def coming from under the hood of the car in the front area.

I think your 'little roll' is the thing. When you put the car into 'Park' it must be stationary, stopped, because when Park is selected, a pawl is released to go into the drive to lock the transmission, (and the car). In effect, it is like having a transmission brake. in fact many people only use Park and never the handbrake. I use both on my present car, (Rover 75) and have done on all previous cars including a 1980 XJ6, which had a Borg-Warner transmission. IF there is movement, the pawl can engage very noisily as you have found out, and it also strains the pawl mechanism too as it is not designed for this sort of thing.
Try a different technique - hold car still on the footbrake, engage Park, then release footbrake. You can also apply handbrake as well, but make sure car is completely stationary

If you look into all the above replies, everyone says 'stop the car fully' before changing into park. This means totally without movement no rolling etc.
Keep your foot firmly on the brake before shifting either into or out of park.
As regards inspection well that would be the gear box. Gear box repairs = expensive.
Change your driving habits to correct the problem before you break it.

no it definitely came equipped with overdrive, and if I'm spelling this right, ford sourced the GM 4L60E transmission for the X300. being GM, it is usually synonymous with unreliable garbage. I haven't had any problems with mine [knock on my big wood desk] but I've kept up with the maintenance, i.e. fluid level, flush, filter kits, and the rest.
