2.5L does not use the same trans.
In theory you can use aw4 from any XJ, but if you use a 91+ you will need a 23-spline t-case. The later ones also use an electronic speedo, so would need to swap tail cones for speedo to work.

2.5L auto 87-90 actually does use the same transmission in some cases. The bellhousing and torque converter are different though and 2.5L/auto was a very rare combo.
I did a writeup on all the specifics about AW4 swaps a while ago, don't have a url handy though. Basically for you, an 87-90 4.0/auto is a direct swap, a 91-95 is a direct swap if you also get the transfer case with it, and 96-97 are a direct swap if you get a 91-95 transfer case. You can also swap a 91-94 (or so, not sure, the helical gear tooth pitch on the low range planetaries changed around 94/95) 23 spline input gear into your 21 spline case and use it with a 91-97 23 spline transmission.
