yes a five speed selector is the same as a 4 speed.
there should b a letter followed by a 2 digit number
near the selector. 4 a 1.3/1.4 astra/nova it is "F10".
Make sure all the linkages r properly fitted.

When fitting my new box i had this problem and was told that a five speed selector does not work on a four speed box and vice versa!Depends if your on about the selector in the car or the one on the box itself, i'm on about the one in the car!
