Unplug all the connectors on the trans and I think it turns into a manual valvebody where you have to manually select a gear to drive in. I am not sure about that since the most I have done with an automatic metro is just yank the trans and toss it but I am pretty sure I read that on teamswift somewhere.
You can drive it directly without a torque converter so that gets rid of a big loss right there. The only other issue I can think of is you need the pump to be pumping all the time while rolling to keep it working so it would need a second motor to drive the pump. Not really sure how all of that could be rigged up but I am sure it is possible.
One nice thing is the way an automatic shifts gears means you can probably change gears without stopping like you would have to most of the time with a clutchless manual setup.
