Clunking sound when pressing PARK button

[Ajjra]

Has anyone else heard a clunking sound when pressing the PARK button. This did not occur for the first 1,000 miles but then happened twice last night. It has since gone away. Car was completely stopped with break pedal depressed.

To my ears from the drivers seat it sounded like it was coming from the rear.

Probably the parking brakes engaging--just a guess.

Or the parking pawl that locks the rear wheels from moving when going into park. It’s a little tab that locks into a gear connected to the transmission drivetrain.

do you know if the transmission drivetrain can be damaged from pressing both pedals all the way down (and without engaging launch control)?
