The VCV on cars with these engines is definitely a "Set it to factory spec, then LEAVE IT ALONE" type thing. If the shifting is still wrong, check that the bowden cable isn't too tight and then focus on adjusting the modulator. My experience has been that the throttle linkage and bowden cable being out of adjustment is a large portion of shifting problems.
