Quick question on clutch
Is normal that when I left the car in garage for a couple of days and then try to push the clutch pedal it is very (very) hard (until I turn the engine on) or I have any leak in that circuit that help the clutch pedal to be soft?

Re: Quick question on clutch
The clutch booster has a vacuum reservoir that provides vacuum with the engine off. Theoretically, the reservoir should hold vacuum indefinitely AFAIK. Most likely you have a tinly leak in one of the rubber hoses between the penum and the reservoir, or on the reservoir itself. If the vacuum is lasting 2 days, then it's probably no big deal. You should get the vacuum back once the engine is started.
Clutch "chatter" is felt when the clutch is being slipped as it's being enaged. Chatter is usually prevalent when running an aftermarket performance puck-style clutch, but could also be felt with a warped flywheel or pressure plate, or contaminates on the clutch disc friction surfaces. It has nothing to do with the clutch booster, clutch vacuum, or the TOB.

Re: Quick question on clutch
Thanks for answer. I payed attention to this, also after few hours the engine is off, the pedal is very hard so I think I've a leak. I talked about clutch chatter because I thought that a leak somewhere would cause inconstant pressure on clutch and so have clutch chatter (you know when you're moving the car with just clutch pedal and you've the pedal pressed at the same position for few seconds but clutch chatter occurs) don't know if it's clear what I want to say
