Interchangable Transmission Mounts?

I've searched for a while with no luck, so I figure I'll ask....

Is the transmission mount from a 90-94 the same as a 95-00?

I actually looked pretty hard; cross referencing aftermarket part numbers to OEM based on different years, along with searching on here, LexLS, VIPStyleCars, etc.

But thanks for the info!

Sewell shows different part numbers and different pricing on gen1 vs gen2. I'm not sure what the difference is though. You’ll find them on the Mounting page of the engine section. "Engine Mounting Insulator Rear No.1"

1990-1994 #12371-50010 - $53
1995-2000 #12371-50060 - $32

I only added "you just didn't look very good" because the forum will not allow short answers. and there is a 90-94 type and a 95-00, and I have put both on and I cannot tell the difference by sight.... and some sell them like the one below:
This item is a new OEM Style replacement mount for:

* 1990-2000 Lexus LS400
* Location - Transmission Mount

Kit Includes

* 1x Part# a7294 - Transmission Mount
MTC also has the same part number for 93 & 99 models.. I gave 35 for an aftermarket, before PD told me OEM was the same price... so, I would use OEM now..
oh, I did not mean to slander you... with my comment..

^That's what I kept running into.

I'm finding the aftermarket ones around $50ish (friends at local automotive stores); but I'll play it safe and go OEM.

It's cool man. Been a forum goer for 7+ years. I'm a pro at the Search button lol. No hard feelings.
