Ron,
I used to have poor shift points, but just messing around with the control rod cured that.
In my case, the rod had got bent when I had the front transmission seal replaced, so I first had to get the rod bent back somewhere near original.
I also changed the small bushing on the transmission control lever where the control rod attaches. That needs to be done before attempting to set up the control rod. Access is not good!
They say to push the rod back and then line up the ball/socket on the throttle linkage. But at first I did not realize that you have to push the rod back in a way that actually pushes that under-car lever all the way back against it's stop.
Glad to see you are nor running out of projects!
