HP does not remain constant when you run it through the friction and losses of a gear box. Normally 15 to 18% loss.
Now you're just nit picking; I think you knew exactly the point I was trying to make.
And to nit-pick you further, a simple planetary gear doesn't lose anywhere near 15 - 15%.
A full transmission, with 3 planetary gear sets, an intermediate shaft, 3 - 5 wet clutch packs, plus a hydraulic pump, is around 18%.
