Brown sludge? Hmm, does the vehicle use any coolant? I wonder if the oil cooler (built into the radiator) has an internal leak.

The other more costly alternative is that one of the clutch plates is shedding it's linings...

symptoms of gearbox problem have changed slightly cos i thought it had blocked the filter in box today but i was wrong no sludge!!
symptoms are drives fine for about 500yrds changes fine overdrive works perfectly then power drops no matter how hard you press the throttle still drops power almost like engine is at fault but i dont think it is that eventually it drops so slow then the engine stalls and you can hear the torque converter spinning noisily . if you leave it for 30 seconds starts and drives again with same symptoms
please help anyone had similar

Sounds like it's trying to select two gears sinultaneously. You'd need to pull the valve body, strip it and flush it out, before going any further...
