Try a transmission shop and see if they can fix your solinoid problem without an entire transmission change.

I don't know what dealer you went to, But P1776 is for valve that has gotten stuck or latch position. In other words they should have told you that you needed a valve body and that comes with a new filter too. Maybe the techs the dealer have is not trained on transmissions. Do you know if your car still have powertrain warranty? When ever you go to a dealer ask for a level 4 tech, not a lube tech.
