Is a 6mt/DSG trans mount compatible with 5mt?

As the title states.

Reason I ask is because a couple mention they are compatible throughout the MQB range but most are 6mt/dsg or 5mt specific. I see a bunch of 6mt/dsg mounts for sale but never any 5mt. Just being a cheapass I guess..but I am definitely curious.

From my experience it's complicated. When I tried installing my trans mount the bolt holes were different and so I had to take apart my oem mount and the new mount and swap the insert over, but this may not be possible for later model golfs, and was not an issue for others with base golfs. Can you take a picture of your current trans mount? You'll have to remove your airbox, etc... but I don't know how else to be certain.
