i have an automatic 1.5s, problem is that after 80km/h, it starts to lag... forcing me to downshift by going heavy on the throttle, thus affecting the fc. what can i do?

the 4 speed automatic is not the greatest transmision..

If you don't want to go heavy on the throttle, you can always push the shifter into 3rd..

what RPM are you at, at 80kmh? my manual is around 2000rpm, which is not always powerful enough for an uphill.

erm, my final gear is at 120km/h @ 3k, not so sure about the 80km/h.
