So you guys think I'm adjusting the wrong way. I went down to the block by trans in which the rod locks into. It's always been my experience that further the rod sticks through the block, the earlier the shifts. Right now it's stick through the block by about an inch or more so I was going to push it back up toward the engine so that only about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch would be sticking through the block and lock it back down. But in order to push it back out of block it has to go toward engine (is it different on 4wd? Havent messed with my 2wd car lately) but it won't go further forward from the underneath due to throttle stud bottomed out already. A bolt from what I can tell will only change shifts to earlier.

Need I use my fantastic photography skills again under truck? I'm sorry to belabor the point and I can try mgoblue's bolt trick but I swear it could be a few weeks before I get someone over here to floor it for me lol.

Edit: Now I can't tell from my pic. I gotta go outside and look again lol.
