Manual Trans Drivetrain Loss at Darrell Day blog

Manual Trans Drivetrain Loss. At the last dyno i was at, someone told me that on a manual transmission car, you can expect 17% drivetrain loss. In fact, to attach a number to it, manual transmissions are usually over 90% efficient, and many over 95%. Understanding drivetrain power loss, or how the clutch, gearbox, diff, shafts, et al leach away horsepower and whether the “15% rule” is indeed universal Adding a manual trans like a t5, or tremec tko could reduce this parasitic loss by eliminating the slippage and pumping losses. So that's a bit more loss than through a manual transmission. Its pretty common knowledge that manual trans cars have around a 15% loss through the drivetrain, and conventional autos have. The rough estimation of losing around 15% is reasonable. The best you can expect to gain is another. Includes torque converter, generally less efficient. The mechanical losses in an automotive drivetrain can vary widely depending upon the type of transmission used, and at what. Less complex gearing, driver skill dependent.
