Reconditioned Opel Insignia 2.0 CDTi Gearbox

5 engine codes, one manual gearbox: what this means for the Insignia 2.0 CDTi

On the Insignia 2.0 CDTi (2008–2017), the transmission is exclusively a 6-speed manual Getrag, with no automatic or automated option. However, five engine codes coexist across this period — A20DTH, A20DTJ, A20DT, B20DTH, B20DTJ — and they do not all share the same gearbox pairing. The A20 and B20 families represent two distinct generations of the diesel unit, with differences in torque output and mounting points that determine the compatible Getrag reference (notably 6Y, MF3, AZD, AXD, APR, 1B).

The engine code stamped under the bonnet remains the essential starting point for identifying the correct gearbox: the model year alone is not sufficient, as two Insignia cars from the same year can carry different engine codes depending on the power level (130, 160 or 195 hp). Checking this code before placing any order avoids a mismatch between the bellhousing and the engine block.
