I’m an insider as well and the costs he lists are mostly vested because the XMSN is already in use other places, acting as if all those costs aren’t already sunk is misleading, also manual transmission information and Designs change much less often and in the case of GM body on frame at least
even will hook up the same across platform generations.
I am the guy responsible for much of the list he states and we definitely avoid updating documentation or tooling across the board because of a transmission , the designer would really have to f up to make that happen.
The current vehicle I’m on needs to be tin cupped meaning I have to re use the existing and spare tooling, no budget for most of his list.
