Idle problems

I have slid my plate full forward and tightned up my governor springs, and adjusted my Idle to suit, but I am not satisfied. I adjusted it at operating temps with air on, in reverse, wheels at full turn, then I will drive it, and it still dies. When I turn it up more, it seems too much. When I am in neutral it seems right, but when, I come to a red light and hold the breaks, it wants to die, so I usally pop it in neutral. I think my torque conv. maynot be fully disengaging. Any thoughts? I may just have to live with more idle.
