Yea, It is a single metallic click but it just really worried me at first as I have never heard a car do that before but if others here know what it is and it happens to them as well then I guess I am ok with it. I was tempted though to have him pull one of the ones they had on their used lot just to prove to me that they all do it but I took his word for it.

So I bought a 2011 a couple weeks ago and came across a click when I go from reverse to drive or drive to reverse. Took it to the dealership where the mechanic told me it is a normal noise that comes from the transmission and that all HHR's do it no matter the year or mileage on it. Anyone else know this ?

But notice that it is only a noise issue, not anything to worry about safety or wear wise. i.e. "normal", but annoying.
I am having a hard time figuring how a washer in that position could mechanically do anything, but if that is the suggested fix I guess it works. I will start not worrying about the axle going bad.
Dealerships don't normally ever look for TSBs, and deity help you if you bring one in with you. I have even tried to use the exact wording of a TSB complaint, and they never came up with anything. It is not the Service Writer's job to look for them and the Technician has no access to search the internet (or at least the inclination).

My 2010 was making a clicking sound on engine load so took it in last fall. Cause: Too much clearance between hub and cv shaft. Service bulletin: 09-04-95-001. Replacement: wheel drive shaft washer. However, it persists.
That being said, there are alot of owner noise complaints that involve different or multiple things. Check NHTSA and net.
