Hey I've got a 94 manual cherokee and my clutch pedal has started to suck in a couple inches when I let off the throttle and start to engine brake. I cant figure out what the issue could be. The only thing I can think of is that it's an issue with my slave cylinder but I didnt think it would be tied in to the engine rpm.

Hmm i dont know if these are cable or hydraulic. If it is hydraulic check the fluid it may be low/empty. if so maybe the slave cylinder is going bad. but take my advice with a grain of salt cause i had a miata that did a similar thing lol. was a bad slave cylinder. i never had the chance to look at a cherokee clutch setup.

Hydraulic.
Check the fluid level and condition.
Kinda out there, but see if the trans to engine bolts aren't tight.

I think I figured out what's going on, it seems my throwout bearing has gone bad. I belive it could be caused by the trans to engine bolts being loose from previous owner said he changed the clutch himself so I don't trust he did it right.

If you don't trust his work, maybe he didn't put something together as he should.
