How do you you adjust floor shifter linkage in a 1993 jeep with an auto transmission

Likely you have a shift control module malfunction. Module is probably on the right side fender in the engine compartment. Check to see if you have one (some do and some dont... go figure...I've got a 91 & 95... I have about five different diagrams and NONE apply to my vehicles)

Was the fluid you drained red or black? did it smell like trans or gear oil? With linkage disconnected, could you put trans in park by moving the lever on the side of the unit? Oil condition is likely a separate issue...most "blown" transmissions generally have normal operation of shift, it just dosen't do what you tell it to. two things likely going on are: linkage problem and likely in need of fluid/filter change.

Summary: On certain sport utility vehicles, if a driver has not placed the shifter lever fully into the "park" position and leaves the vehicle running, the vehicle may unexpectedly move rearward after seeming to be stable.
Consequence: Inadvertent movement of the vehicle could result in a crash.

Fix: Dealers will install a secondary detent system to the floor shifter assembly. DaimlerChrysler sent interim notices to owners concerning this problem on March 22, 2002. Owner notification began September 23, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact DaimlerChrysler at 1-800-853-1403.

Your shift selector linkage. Make sure the cable is actually streched, and not just loose at either end. Commonly when it doesn't function correctly the wable adjustment is loose at the transmission. It an arm with a solid linkage to it as well as posibly the cable directly tto another arm that is attached to a shaft entering the transmission. This is where the adjustment for the shift selector is gets paired with the correct transmission shift arm position.
