If you have hard shifting, look first for vacuum leaks. Every vacuum line and connection should be suspect, use of a mity-vac to see if it holds vacuum is recommended.

Also, if your car is sluggish off the line, basically has no apparent boost until around 2500RPM or so, it might not be vacuum and transmission adjustments, but the fact that the pedal position is telling the transmission to shift harder for the power setting, ... you will need to search ALDA for how to correct that problem, usually 1-1/2 turns CCW is adequate.
