Default 96 Cherokee clutch question

I'm getting the clutch replaced Monday, but have a question.

If I turn off the engine while the car is still moving and in gear(clutch
fully depressed). There is a noticeable drag as soon as the engine quits.
Cherokees have a hydraulic clutch, but it's not a "power" clutch like power
brakes, or power steering which require the engine to be running to
function. Why would the car suddenly have this braking effect while in a
gear?

Default 96 Cherokee clutch question

It's called engine braking. You are starting to make the engine turn
over with the clutch grabbing.

Why are you getting the clutch replaced? You are describing a failure
of the clutch hydraulic system, not the clutch. You clutch seems to be
grabbing just fine. This can all be fixed from the outside.

Some of the earlier Cherokees had an internal slave. I 'think' the 96
was external, but could be wrong. It is easy enough to look down there
and see.

Yeah it's an external slave cylinder. The shop needed $298 for hydraulics
replacement, they wanted to replace it as a one piece unit with hoses
already attached to both cylinders. If I still have problems the clutch
gets replaced later.
