I have a 1993 jeep grand Cherokee. It overheated and wen I put water in it, it flushes straight out real fast near the transmission. Wen I looked at it, it looks like the engine block is cracked. How can I fix this problem?

If the engine block is cracked, it's best to install another engine, however it can be fixed but not recommended. It may be the freeze plug that needs to be replaced. And again it could be the line running from the transmission to the the front at the radiator with a hole or crack. I would try to fill with water and crawl under there before the engine gets hot to see where the leak may be coming from. Then look from the top of the engine. Good Luck

If the engine block is cracked, there no fix but replacement, check and make sure it's not the rear freeze plug, the rear freeze plug is between the engine block and the transmission.

Cracked block? Eh... You can try to have it welded but thats not a promising fix. I think you may have signed your jeeps death certificate. On the bright side you can pick up a used motor from a salvage for around $450. Try welding it. Its worked for me before.

Quadra N position still drives. why should the car move wen in N?

Please have somebody check the shaft that goes from the transmission to the center console, it's out of line. This can get worst and maybe, if you don't have it fix, it won't stay in park (P) and your car won't start.

Oil pump or other issues

I would put a mechanical oil pressure gauge on it,to verify oil pressure.

Certainly stop driving it ,until you find and repair

2000 jeep grand Cherokee transmission problem very sluggish on start transmission fluid looks liked like strawberry milkshake, so i went to jiffy lube had them pump out the old tranny fluid and put fresh...

water in the tranny fluid. could be problem with the two fluids mixing in a faulty radiator. note that flush only gets about half the fluid, the rest is in the torque converter

It sounds like the torque converter is locked up. Possible a bad torque converter or converter solenoid. First thing you should try is unplugging the solenoid plug on the transmission. Drivers side, near the shifter. Not the three pin connector near the pan on the same side. The connector you want is higher than the reverse light plug.

Check fluid to make sure it's full. Did you check to make sure that when you move the shifter, the transmission shift lever on the case moves? Assuming it's an automatic, if fluid is full and linkage moves properly, has fluid been changed? If not, do it! (including filter) If when changing fluid, you find an excessive amount of fine metal or clutch material in pan, chances are the unit has worn out and needs rebuild, If everything inside is clean & good then finish with change and check results.If still having same problem it's likely internal or if electrically shifted, a shift module problem etc.
