Turning it clockwise reduces vacuum signal thus raising and friming shift point. Turning counter clockwise.. well you can figure that one out...
I usually go 1 to 1 1/2 turns at a time and test to get it where I want...

I also agree with checking the vacuum source and put a gauge on it to make sute it is within specs...

Good luck!

It's possible that your kickdown switch is stuck.
