Will keep testing, cold weather already making it hard to shift so hard to tell if due to clutch adjustment or just weather.

Doesn't hurt to raise the pedal a bit for confidence.
All bets are off when the trans is cold. Still, it's a good opportunity to work on rhythm. When upshifting, get through neutral as quickly as possible (no pause) and immediately apply gentle pressure to the target synchro. If you're quick enough, it will sink into gear like butter. If you miss the opportunity, double-clutch and try again. You'll soon realize force is never required.
