Question about parasitic loss.

[blackbeast12]

My question is, do automatics have more parasitic loss then manual transmissions, and if so what is the avg percentage? In general most folks talk about %15 of the crank hp.. I'm asking because this is the 1st auto mustang, all my previouse mustangs were manuals.

Autos lose about 15% the manuals are losing 11-12% Racing autos like glides/th400s tend to eat up about 18-20%
