It's the parking sprag falling into a slot. It has a spring on it to hold pressure until a slot lines up.

Just fully depress the brake and pull up the parking brake. Some people do say it stresses the tranny, but I've never heard it from a Toyota tech.

All I'm saying is it can be avoided by fully depressing the brake and pulling the parking brake.
