Keep in mind though that my 'data' is from roughly 10 years ago. I doubt that the current cost is much over $200 though and I wouldn't be surprised if mfg improvements has kept it close to where it was when I worked there.

10 years ago (see chart on page 1) about 2/3 of all transmissions were 4-spd autos. Now cars are primarily 6-spd auto and CVTs. With the added complexity of both, I wonder if that $200 target is achievable.
Still lots of room for a hefty profit margin though.
