They aren't more expensive because they're heavier, but they are more expensive and heavier. Automatics (from the factory) usually have slightly beefier gears than manuals as well as torque converters which means their cases are generally a bit larger. Plus you've got to fit in all those clutches, steels, a valve body, etc. And c'mon guys...an automatic isn't that hard to understand.
