What, if anything, was in the pan?
it had like some muddy substance around the magnet but that was all.
the check engine light was on but i took it in to have the inspection and breaks done and the light was off when i picked it up.I'm not sure what you mean about TV cable adjusted properly? I tried manual shifting but it still no difference.no better when it shifts to second.when it finally gets to drive it will be ok untill i have to climb a hill,then it boggs down
Get someone to scan for any codes - particularly any relating to governor pressure.
The TV (throttle valve) cable is a cable attached to the throttle linkage, and controls the throttle valve on the transmission. It basically increases line pressure in the transmission as more throttle is applied. If it's adjusted too loose, you can get problems like you describe. There should be no slack in the TV cable - it should begin to move as soon as the throttle begins to open.
Have you checked the adjustment on the bands when you did the fluid change?
Does it "rev up really high" in both forward and reverse?
If it does it only in forward gears the rear clutch is slipping.

Sounds like the tranny clutch are worn out or there is some bad seals but you are not going to fix it without some tearing into it some of completely. If this ia a 4x4 with oversized tires and stock gears you did good to get the mileage you did out of it.
That "muddy stuff" was likely clutch materail. You are not going to fix this with a adjustment and to think so is putting off the inevitable.
magnetic clutch material ?
maybe it's starting in 2nd or 3rd
