Powerglide Transmission Questions

My wide open throttle shift point is 55 mph and the owner's manual states it should be 65 mph.

Is it difficult to adjust the low band? Should it be done by a dealer or at a transmission shop?
My mechanic says it can be difficult to adjust due to space limitations.

I have reviewed the procedures in the overhaul manual 7-61and 62.

Thanks, Jim
