Fuel Adjustment

I've adjusted my star nut 3/4 cw in and my smoke two turns cw but am noticing a real lag in power in the first part of third gear. It pulls fairly hard in 1st and 2nd put really falls off when it shifts to third and finally picks back up toward the shift to OD. It's not real noticable except when your stomping on it or passing. Also I have to put the trans in N for a while when I first crank it or after it's been sitting for over an hour, if I don't it takes a while to go into gear. On top of that the shift from 3rd to OD takes a while to happen if I'm stepping on it unless I left off and let it shift then get back on it. All this being said I wonder if It is more the tranny than a missed adjustment of fuel, any thoughts?
