brake light comes on when shifting to 2nd

hey what's up guys? I've had this problem for a while now and I'm curious to know if anyone has any suggestions about it.

When I switch into second gear when I'm boostin.. I hear a thud and my brake light comes on and stays lit for a few seconds. It feels like something is dropping below me. it usually happens when I shift quickly into second. Any one have any ideas?? thanks in advance

check your brake fluid level. If it's around the sensor level then it could give you the light.

Maybe adjust your emergency brake switch out a bit. It's pretty common. The thud could be a cracked powerplant frame.
