Transmission losses

[spencer_cammedvts]

Fly figures and figures at the wheels are very different and its usually a case of around 20-30 bhp losses on N/A saxo's well R's & S's anyway. what can be done to reduce the amount of power lost through the transmission?

[williamsvts]

nothing.
you may get a slightly smaller loss with different transmission fluid.

surely its a percentage loss though?

I might be wrong but i'd be pretty pissed off to find my car producing 20hp at the wheels

[williamsvts]

yes, its around 25-29%
