I did read about an actual Raiu owner on this forum also having difficulty shifting from 1st to 2nd. Possibly more evidence that the short shifter was a bad idea.

Wouldn't be a bad idea to check if your reverse lockout plate is aligned correctly based on your symptoms.

A few people on here have had to adjust this plate on their stock shifter that was misaligned from the factory. I had to install and align mine after a short lived experience with an IRP shifter and have had no issues before or after.
I doubt the STI shifter itself is to blame. It's a direct drop in replacement of the OEM one into the same carrier, and uses the same plate. My money would be on the plate not being aligned properly.
