The k20z3 and k20a2 are very similar engines. Additionally, the RSX-S and 6th generation Si's share transmissions, just with slightly different gearing. As for limp mode, could be anything in this case. i'd suspect the busted up radiator for starters, or the air intake that doesn't seem to be connected to anything at all. As for the sloppy shifting, I'd check the transmission fluid. Get underneath the car and check for large bolt near the very bottom of the transmission, on the driver's side. That's your fill bolt. Unscrew it... if nothing at all comes out, you're likely too low (or entirely out) of transmission fluid.
