Adjusting is not possible as it's a sort of a completely different game than full ring, though I adjusted from shothanded limit holdem to shorthanded no-limit holdem in a way that I had a preflop strategy that was from basic parts a step or two tighter, that's all, but I had to create a new flop strategy (position, flop type, lead or not, heads up, three ways, hand type), and turn and river.

Just the same things one needs to do between limit full ring and limit shorthanded, just that adjusting preflop will be as simple as thinking that e.g. 2 off the button in a full ring game is the same as 3 off the button in a shorthanded game (the button hands in a full ring game are played from one off the button in a shorthanded game), the big blind is similarly looser when calling (or reraising) as the raiser will have a step or in practise maybe two steps looser hands as the full ring game players below high limits are often too tight, though the middle limit shorthanded games can be overly tight too.

I disagree with pretty much all of this. A full-ring game where it's folded to 6 players is completely identical to a full SH game. The only thing that's different are the players. In SH, they tend to be looser and more aggressive (or they used to, I haven't played a single hand of full-ring in about a year). Preflop hand charts will help, but dealing with the postflop trickiness and aggression in HU situations is the toughest, and most important part. Unfortunately, there is no simple guide to this.
