Default Transmission loss

Anyone know what the average transmission loss is on a 2wd saph? Just had mine rollered with a difference of 5.6% between flywheel and wheels... which seems very low!!!

I throught it was about 18-24 brake aswel, on a standard engine. so it does
seem a bit on the low side.

Wish my loses were as low as that. They are over 25% on an XR4x4. Mine made 204bhp at Flywheel and only 148bhp at the wheels!
