Alfa Giulietta jTDM 2 knocking on start up.

My jTDM 2 2.0L has just started to make two or three loud knocks on start up. Its not like tappets or anything like that but it is two or three definite knocks. Car is fine all of the rest of the time running smooth pulling fine and it does not seem to be linked to revs at all.

It is odd as you cant hear it from outside the care and is only noticeable from inside. I almost seems as though some part of the transmission is hitting the chassis as the block rocks on start up. There is also an accompanying shake of the gear knob as this happens.

Does anyone have any idea what this could be?

I live around a lot of rough roads and she drags her bottom every now and then could I have bent something that the transmission is now knocking?

Any help would be well received!
