i have a 1991 80.it shifts fine except when climbing steep hills,it just s:beer: lows down instead of downshifting.but with cruise control on it downshifts great when climbing hillsat highway speed.is this normal?
 
I doesn't sound normal. There's a procedure for adjusting both the throttle cable and the tranmission kick-down cable in the FSM. Made a huge difference on my 80. Might also be a post in the tech section on this procedure.
 
Yup; kickdown cable. Easy as adjusting the handbrakes on a bicycle, and you can get the shift points wherever you like.

if it was the kickdown cable wouldnt it not shift correctly with or without cruise control on?it shifts down fine with cruise on.:beer:

No.

Edit: Besides, it's so easy to adjust that there's really no reason not to: Can't hurt; almost guaranteed to help.
