Default wierd rattle

ok, so a week or two ago i went into the ditch, not hard or fast or anything, but now i have a wierd rattle/knock sound that happens when i turn the engine over to start it, and at low idle in drive.i replaced the trans a while back so i check the torque conv bolts and their still good, i changed the oil and saw no signs of engine damage, and the trans looks good still, so im at a loss, any help would be great, thx guys
