   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?

   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
