Default 97 SL 4dr 1.9DOHC, Strange rattle when shift into gear

I have a 97 saturn sl2 4dr 1.9L DOHC. I just got the car, runs great. Only thing is when I first start the car, and shift into gear move a few feet, I hear a rattle. Cant seem to find it, I don't hear it any other time. Even after the car is running, I put it into park, then gear and move again to hear it again and nothing. Only when I turn the car off and back on then shift into gear it does it again. I feel like I've heard it when going over bumps but not sure. Any help or info would be greatly appreciated..Thanks!!
