Yes.
With the exception of some early (non synchro) boxes, all Mini manual
motors fit all Mini manual gearboxes.

Similarly, all Mini Auto motors fit all Mini auto gearboxes, but manual
motors on auto boxes and vice versa do not fit.

There are no Metro motors - only Mini motors in strange cars!

Yes.

Well, there are Metro motors, but they're the ones that don't even look
like Mini motors - the larger ones.

Metros had various motors.

An A series or A+ motor in a Metro isn't a Metro motor, it's just a Mini
motor doing time until someone has a Mini ready to receive it.

A K series, or whatever the hell the other motor in a metro is, is a
"Metro motor", since it won't fit a Mini.

The difference between A & A+ is the transfer gears, the bearings on the
idler gear are larger on the A+ . When changing the gearbox get the matching
transfer gear housing.
