    I lost control and spun into a snowbank rear first. Now my 2000 civic sedan
    vibrates through the transmission and is noisier when going any reasonable
    speed.

    What might be the most likely problem?

    Sorry to hear, If the car it tracking straight probably the rim is bent or
    it might be something broken in the suspension.

    If you are still driving in the winter on the stock Firestones get some snow
    tires. Those things are dangerous

    probably out of alignment, that would be the first thing to check

    You probably just got some snow packed on the inside of the rims which would
    affect the balance of the tires when you speed up. Try going to a car wash
    or a hot water presure washer to try and get the snow off the inside of the
    rims and see if that helps.

    If the snow bank was just snow, I'll vote for packed snow inside (on the
    back side) of the wheel.
    If the snow bank was mostly ice, then it would depend on how hard you hit.

    My gut tells me that you have packed snow in the wheel

    CV joint boot torn apart? Have you done a visual inspection? An oil
    change place would spot that one for you.
