Default ek hx auto limp mode problem

alight well my nephew got a 96 civic hx it use to be an auto but was converted to a 5 speed they threw in a z6 and the car is in limp mode
in ek's the hk model the five speed harness is different from the auto so what they did is run the auto ecu and the 5 speed ecu does not plug up so thats why its in limp mode
can i use an obd2 -obd1 jumper harness or will it not plug in do i have to change the whole cabin harness?

So what ecu are you trying to use? P28?, or P2P?
P28 =obd1 so it will not fit with your stock harness without a obd2 > 1 conversion harness
P2P = obd2 plug n play

Also are you throwing any CELs? You should be throwing an auto tranny related code. Check all codes and get back to us.
