Shifter in 2nd, wont come out of 1st?

Is this normal? Ever since I got my car it will do this: If while the trans is in 1st gear I put the shifter in the 2nd position it will hold 1st and not upshift to 2nd. However if it is already in 2nd gear it will stay in that gear or down shift. Did MB put a 1st gear lock in these trans? In 3rd or D it has never done this.

Can't answer as to why it does this, but mine does the same thing.

PITA if you want to hold second from a standing start. You have to leave it in "3" until it hits second and then drop it down to "2".

About 30, it makes a bunch of noise. Then I can whip the rear end around and slide into my dead end.
