For whatever reason my Metro 5 speed was able to use both the rear trans mount plus the forward one on the driver's side. The axles were not touched. The crankshaft pulley had 1/2'' clearance to the frame, no need to cut the hole on mine.
The auto trans mount on yours may be in a different location. May be worth while to install the axles for the 5 speed and determine if the rear trans mount has to be moved.
Is the front trans mount off the 5 speed 3 cylinder?
