Answer
Hi Matthew:
The 0700 means a code has been recognized and set in the memory of the trans controller. The 0755 means there is either a problem with the 2/4 solenoid (in the box on the front side of the trans), or that there is a problem with its circuit, or possibly a problem with trans controller or the trans relay, but those latter two are less likely. None of those require rebuilding the trans, but after checking the trans fluid level I would believe that having a competent independent trans shop (not a nationwide franchise) check the 2/4 solenoind and its circuit using the Chrysler DRB III readout device and Miller tool 8333 transmission simulator (ask if they have such  devices and have the instructions for how to do those tests). I can give you the test procedures but they have to have the tools. If you can't find such a shop, then a Chrysler dealership is the next place to ask.
The P1782 refers also to the 2/4 part of the box, in this case the 2/4 pressure switch. So clearly a troubleshoot of that part of the solenoid box is necessary.
