Generaly most automatics will, it's to prevent overspeeding the engine.

I don't know about that. Mine will stay in first until I shift to "2" or D.

Trans-Go makes shift kits to do exactly what you want to do. I bought one to install in my 95. You can hold any gear to any rpm and still drive fully auto in drive.

Mine does not shift out of 1 without permission. Perhaps your linkage is not adjusted correctly and you are really in 2 (it's not pulling all the way down into 1).
