Question trans swap question

Reverse is going out on my 90 4x4 4.0 XJ and I believe I have found a trans for $125. I know its a good trans cause my buddy just pulled it out of his 2wd to do a 4wd swap. My only concern is that it is a 2wd trans out of a 93 xj 4.0, Ive not been able to find any thing on the forum that says wether it will work or not work. Ive done some research and i am pretty sure its the same trans ill just have to swap out the tail shaft, I just wanted some comfirmation before i bought it, sorry if its a stupid question im just not really savvy on the technical jeep stuff. I was a toyota man till i traded my 98 taco for a 94 yj and a 90 xj, not knockin yotas cause there good trucks but im glad i traded.

I know the manual trans is more involved than just swapping the tail housing, you have to change some internals such as the output shaft. I am not sure about the autos. Someone on the forum will know the answer and be able to help.
