nope, they said about $750 to fix everything. It would have been worth it to have the car a few more years.

when people normally say you have 15-20% drivetrain loss...is that just horsepower, or does that also include torque?

Yes, it is both. HP and torque are related through the following equation:

HP = TQ x RPM/5250.1132... (there's a slight approximation involved)

For a given RPM, if either HP or TQ are reduced, the other must also decrease. BTW, that's why dyno charts always show the HP and TQ crossing at 5250 RPM. If they don't, then the data is somewhat questionable. It's the first thing I always look for when I see a chart...
