^Lol. I agree with you to a point. The “4 series” Chrysler transmissions were never my favorite. But all in all they were comparable to and as durable as other 80s/90s transmissions IMO, just a bit more finicky.
Now considering we are over 2 decades into the 21st century, and they have been bottom of the barrel for the same amount of time, I would find it even harder than I did 15 years ago to own one, especially for towing and certainly not for big boy towing.
And just to be clear some of the GM and Ford transmissions weren't that great. I remember my Dad getting pissed with our 1981 Chevy C10 OD would shift too early and lug the motor down when towing our 20ft Prowler and the only way to disable the OD was to unplug a connector on the fire wall. The OD was so bad that he never enabled the OD after that, but it was a reliable transmission.
