Any high quality DOT 4 brake fluid will do in the clutch master. I like the German-made ATE Gold 200, for a good combination of high heat performance, affordability and low hydroscopic properties.

Flushing the clutch, I've never needed much. A single 500mL bottle will be plenty.
I've never found it at the chain auto shops. Woods Fun Center here in town usually has it in stock (for ~40% markup) if I need it immediately. Otherwise, I just call a nearby shop and ask them to order it for me (they can usually have it for me the next day).

I just flushed my clutch fluid a few days ago... After a lot of research I ended up putting DOT 3 brake fluid. Apparently the reality is that the brand does not make a difference because DOT 3 and DOT 4, etc all require the same specifications and standards. DOT 4 isnt necessary if you dont track your car. Just dont use DOT 5 as that does not mix with either 3, 4, or 5.1
fyi: im not saying dot 4 or dot 3 have the same standards, I mean in order to be dot 3 or dot 4, all brands must meet same requirements. |

ATE Amber TYP200 is pretty easy to come by where I am at any speedshop. SRF or M600 take some time to order. I run PFC665 (A buddy just drops me off some every few months). Dry boiling point of 615F is nice.
