Have you fixed this yet? The fix is cheap and easy. Let me know if you haven't yet. Mr Geo Metro leehduncan@Verizon.net
If it is automatic and it grinds, that means you must come to a complete stop before shifting into reverse, or your transmission is no good
Yes it is. Any Metro transmission made after the year 1994 will fit in your 98 Metro.
Have you ever changed the fluid and filter in the transmission? If not, that's the first thing you should try.

Sounds like it needs new friction parts internally. Find a good shop.
Sell '91 Metro manual. Purchase '91 Metro automatic. You'll be less than $500 out of pocket which is a lot less than a serviceable automatic will cost.
It isn't possible. You'll need to have the transmission rebuilt.
if the engines that they came off of are the same it should work
If you are talking about an automatic transmission, it is under the removable pan at the bottom of the trans. Drain the oil and remove the pan, you'll see. Mr Geo Metro leehduncan@verizon.net

For all automatic transmissions you add fluid through the dipstick tube.
If you are speaking of the automatic transmission, no. The 1997 geo metro has a 3 speed automatic. At approximately 35 mph it will shift from 2nd to 3rd gear. This means that it will run at 3500 rpm when traveling at 55 mph. Most cars with overdrive will shift to the 4th gear (overdrive) at this point. A geo metro, which only has 3 gears, does not.
