Its the first "hole" that clears the shift post that might need to be opened up like maybe 2mm or so. I think that the vibration from the transmission is causing the shifter linkage and post to oscillate and just touch the inner portion of the knob causing the metallic vibrations at high RPM's.

I bought the delrin version as well to test this theory out. It should arrive to me next Monday or Tuesday. Will change out the shift knob and post results.

If it is the knob itself...then using the delrin one should eliminate the vibrations since it is technically a polymer...aka...plastic.
Oooh! A reason to use my drill press
