Thumbs down BJ Astina Auto Transmission Annoyance

Not sure if this is a fixable issue. But I am finding that when I get up into top gear (4th) my transmission goes to sleep!!! It's like the car decide, ok, you're in top gear now, my work is done!!!

It feels like some kind of economy mode, or a 5th gear overdrive. Basically, as your acceleration stops and you get to a constant speed, the revs will drop, and then sit there. If you go to climb a hill, you either wait forever or pump the accelerator, it then "changes gear" but you're still in 4th!! If you manually change from 4th to 3rd its a massive difference.

It is definitely a 4 speed transmission. But there is no overdrive button. Is there a way to fine tune this? Once you get into this overdrive the car is as responsive as a mule!!
