The TPS has more to do with the OverDrive.

Consider adjusting the TV cable instead. There's a blonde nylon clip on top of the TV cable mount. Pry it up to free the cable for adjustment.

- Sliding the cable housing forward (loosening the cable) will make shifts earlier.
- Sliding the cable housing backward (tightening the cable) will make shifts later.

Make the adjustments in approx 1/8" increments, driving around the block to check. Check both part throttle as well as WOT performance.
Be aware, this is only good for MINOR shift-point adjustments. Larger adjustments will require going into the valve-body.

Hope this helps.
