Clicking noise when shifting gears

Hi all,

I recently purchased my G back in early October, it's an 03' G35, automatic but 66k miles. I recently have been noticing a clicking noise when i either use the triptonic, or sometimes when it is in just full auto. It happens about 70% of the time my car down shifts into 1st or 2nd, or even when it upshifts into 2nd or 3rd. I am posting a video of me driving on my street.

Please let me know what you think! There are 4 distinct clicks in this case. First 3 are at the very beginning, changing from reverse to drive and then (not punching it) accelerating. Last one is a few seconds after the third, changing into third gear.

Sounds similar to an axle clicking.

Is this a big problem? Will it last, or will it need fixing? Thanks
