I wouldn't say the trannys are horrible. The only major problems I have read about are the input and output sensors going bad on a "regular" basis. Your codes suggest a different problem, such as:

"1776 Chrysler Solenoid Switch Valve Latched in LR Position (this is a transmission issue which may involve replacing the valve body and solenoid pack; on some models there is a TSB on this problem so be firm with your dealer / Chrysler)." or, there is


P1776 Ignition Retard Request Duration Fault


along with:

P1784 Transmission Mechanical Failure - First And Reverse

It just depends on which company's code you are reading.
