Default I have a transmission ? Please Help

I own a 03 RC Hemi Ram it has just 35,000miles on it. I bought it from a 54 year old man so I know it has not be beatin on. But the thing is when I move through the gears like from Park to Reverse I hear alittle noise then a click! But somtimes when I push the brake pedal all the way down the sound is barly there or no there at all. I only hear the sound going from P to R or P to D or R to D. Now the question is should I go to shop and ask them to go through my transmission with a fine tooth coam and see what the problem is. I get my car through a check up 2months ago but I don't think they did a transmission flush should i tell them to do that would that fix the noise or if its a problem fix it. And I plan on some descent modd's in August like headers, cam's, CAI, 4.56gears and being an 03 beehive valvesprings just want my truck to be in good shape so I don't need a new trans after all my work on the truck is done.

I would check the universal joints on the drive shaft and see if they need to be replaced.

if it only happened on a incline then i would say it was normal but since it happens on both you probably should get your u-joints checked like mazz said. if thats not it then come back and let us know.

A weird thing happened today I went from Park to Reverse but he didn't go into Reverse it stayed in Park but ther I went to park then reverse again and then it went into reverse. Is this a sign of a serious problem?
