yes, it is the shift interlock.

try moving out of P without stepping on the brake...you can\'t

that\'s cause you can shift out of N into D or R w/out touching the brake

the shift interlock is there so you can\'t shift out of Park without stepping on the brake. it is a forcing function to prevent \"unintended movement\"...you have to want to move out of Park.

it won\'t click in Neutral, only Park.

I was hearing the same sound. Its very normal to hear that sound because of Interlock function as told by Mazda service manager when i asked him the other day.

I\'m guessing that should be park instead of neutral.

no, neutral is right in Optimzer\'s quote...you can shift out of N without stepping on the brake.
