No, it's normal. If it bothers you, then pull up the gearlever gaiter and wrap the solenoid in foam to mask the noise.

The 'leather' gaiter just pulls up if you get your fingers under the back end and pull. This will give you some access to damp the solenoid if that's what you're trying to do.
Removing the 'wood' trim makes a lot more room, but requires a lot more dismantling.

Why? It's working as it should. You should worry if it does NOT click as you'll not be able to get the car out of park  :y

It should only click when the car is in park, in normal use on the road there shouldn't be a click  ;)

It's been a while since I've driven an auto Omega regularly, but sure that it clicks every time you press the pedal...:-\
