I'd advise against it. First, if you've got sludge in there, you have no way of knowing where the three gallons you want is. Start at full and take twelve out, you might have 11 qts of hard sludge (really!) and one of oil left. Second, you want to avoid running anything like straight kerosene -- it will have the desired solvent effect but will be too thin to scour. about 1/3 kero will flow about like 30 or 40 weight oil in there and do what you want it to
glennster's post above has got the proportions and the process pretty well covered. Stick with that, and you'll accomplish what you want to do.
As a sidenote to what glennster said about making a wire loop to dig out sludge -- I dug more than a quart of hard dry sludge out through the drain of my BN tranny (five QUART capacity, thank you very much!), before it ever started to drain and and got another quart of lumpy stuff while it was draining. It was low from leaking anyway, so it was probably 50% sludge in there. It got opened up and a good cleaning, but I tell the story just to reinforce the point that you can't always gauge how much oil is left by how much you drain out in a case like that.
