Agree with Troy; no need to worry with that adjustment as it only sets minimum pressure seen while coasting and idling. The throttle pressure at any other time is controlled by the adjustment of the throttle linkage up by the carb.

If you are using drive range and the car seems to go to neutral at 15, then the high clutches are not engaging. Try using the position just left of the D position. Will the car move at all? If not, then there is something wrong with the high clutch assembly. You can check for pressure to that at one of the easily accessible external ports as described in the pressure test section.

If the car will move off in high in the left position but will not shift automatically to high in the right position then the shift valve in the upper rear valve body is likely stuck.
