hi,
I'm afraid you'll need an auto subframe, is larger to fit in larger gearbox.
Either find a scrappy auto car of ebay and convert, or buy an auto car.

The auto subframe is only about 8mm wider, so you could mod the one you've got in some way, or even mad the mounting bracket that bolts to the engine.
Were bouts in Devon are you?
