Hey Pharmacist - glad to hear you sorted it out, when you say the boots do you mean the actual leather boot or is there something else? I may give this a try

There are two boots, the outer leather one, and an inner rubber boot inside it that is pressed on the shifter lever itself. I tried sliding the inner boot a bit up against the shifter. The sound has now gone away. Most likely it was not pressed tightly against the shifter and as the engine vibrates at high rpm the rubber would tap against the metal shifter and cause the sound.
