The pressure screw is in the manifold which is inside the pan, which
makes incremental tweaks a PITA. It has a ratchet feature to it that
only allows you to turn it in, raising pressure. Personally I wouldn't
touch it without first getting a pressure test. You may cause more
harm than good and there is no going back, at least not without
considerable expense. Improper fluid levels can mimic some of your
symptoms so I wouldn't go messing with settings without first taking
care of the standard stuff first. A pressure test is pretty straight
forward. I wouldn't expect to pay more than about $100 for one.

Sounds like slipping then. Doing the reset won't hurt but slipping
would to me be consistent with your notation of it being slower when
cold (more slipping, clutches not coming together quickly enough,
etc.). In that case I'd change the fluid and filter and also adjust
the pressure screw and see what happens from there.
I know this will be a stupid question. Should the pressure be adjusted
upwards or downwards? By how much -- quarter-turn, half-turn, or
other. Obviously, I won't do this work -- but I need to be able to
instruct someone on what to do. Where is the pressure screw?
