Transmission general data
The CVT transmission VT20E was used for FWD Opel Vectra of English and German assembly with engine capacity equal to 1.8 liters. The VT25E modification found application in American FWD Saturn VUE and Ion (2.2 liters capacity).
This CVT equipped with a push belt is perfectly adjusted, therefore it rarely gets in repair services. During the first 150-200 thousand kilometers of exploitation, drivers just should not forget to replace filters and change transmission fluid in a timely manner (depending on the driving style).
