Default Replaced front motor mounts. Now the tranny mount...

Brand new M.O.R.E. mounts. My old OEM ones were so bad that the metal sleeve was completely separated from the rest of the mount on both sides. There was ZERO rubber above the sleeve on each side. They were more motor "rests" than motor mounts! Anyway, lots of vibes, want to replace my tranny mount too but here's the thing. I can find oodles and oodles of AX and AW mounts for $15-ish but the Peugeot tranny mount costs $75+. Autozone lists the same tranny mount for the peugeot AND AW/AX. Rockauto is downright confusing:

ANCHOR Part # 2625
Exc. Peugeot Trans.; Trans. code BA 10/5; 4WD; Standard trans.
Exc. Peugeot Trans.; Trans. code AW4; 4WD; Standard trans.
Exc. Peugeot Trans.; Trans. code AX5; 4WD; Standard trans.
Exc. Peugeot Trans.; Trans. code AX4; 4WD; Standard trans.

To me this means that this part EXCLUDES the Peugeot tranny BUT the very first tranny listed IS the Peugeot tranny, the BA 10/5!

Will the AX/AW fit my jeep? If not, can it be modified to fit my jeep? Are there any other options for me? Thanks!

I'd say go buy the $17 one from auto zone. See if you can get it to work, if not. Take it back.

Did some googling. Yea, the ones for ax an aw trans aren't going to work. And the only ones for puegot I could find are $75. They are s funky looking trans mount. A lot of metal.

Trans swap???

I did some googling too but never found anything definitively saying that the ax/aw mounts won't work, hence my question here. I appreciate your help.

Not doing a trans swap to save money on a mount...

I have brand new motor mounts out front and a 25 year old tranny mount. I was hoping to maybe quell the vibes a bit. I'll just roll with what I got for now. Christmas is coming and my list is short. So far it's got one transmission mount...

All I want for Christmas is.... an 87-90 XJ Puegot Transmission mount...

Loses its ring.

Anyways I didn't find anything saying for sure you couldn't use one. BUT from looking at pics it looks to be impossible. They are NOTHING alike. I could be wrong though.
