seems noisy clicks when when changing from park to D…when on a slope and changing into reverse jumps back into park.

You are placing a great load on the transmission when parked on anything other than flat ground and relying on “park” to hold the vehicle, use the parking brake to hold the vehicle when parked on hills. See pages 466-468 of the owners manual.

_"When parking on a hill, it is important to turn the front_  
_wheels toward the curb on a downhill grade and away_  
_from the curb on an uphill grade. **Apply the parking** _  
_ **brake before placing the shift lever in PARK, otherwise** _  
**the load on the transmission locking mechanism may make it difficult to move the shift lever out of PARK**. The parking brake should always be applied whenever the driver is not in the vehicle."
