why are dodge transmissions labeled as crap(no offence)

From all I have seen, the 604 isn't even as bad as some people will claim. I've got one with 120,000 miles that still shifts fine, it's just leaks. A lot of shops have been known to put the wrong fluid in and that will shorten its life.

The worst transmission on the planet when it came out was the 700-R4 from good ole GM (or maybe the 200 was worse, but nothing Chrysler has ever put out has been near that bad). The 727 was the most reliable automatic from the 60s to the 80s.
