1996 Audi A4 "Clicks" When Put into Gear

Year: 1996
Make: Audi
Model: A4
Engine: 2.8 Automatic
Mileage: 115K miles
My car has been making a loud clicking sound when I start the car and change into drive or reverse (have not tested with changing into any other gear). I am not sure where the noise is coming from. I don't hear it much from inside the car, but when I roll down the window it is loud. It only does this after I have not driven the car for a day or more. It is usually in the AM so it is a little colder (I park my car outside).
The clicking stops when I start driving. I don't hear the clicking again until I have left the car alone for a day or more. I only drive the car about every other day.
I had the CV boot replaced along with both catalytic converters last year (among many other repairs).
Thanks for any help! I really appreciate it.

If you've replaced the boots on CV joints they may have started to fail before that. They can click like a U-joint click as you described but more often would do repeated clicking when turning with some load. See if it's much worse when wheel is turned,
