Changing Clutch Fluid, Capacity

My Clutch is soft again! Last time bleeding it fixed it, I think it might be a good idea to change the fluid- How much fluid does the clutch hydraulic system hold/ How many containers of brake fluid should I buy? Any tips?

I would think one large one would be more than enough.

One large one does all the brakes on my dodge, so i think one large one will more than cover a Toyota's clutch system. If you are having soft clutch issues, i would look at it being more than just the fluid.

Try replacing the clutch cylinder itself.

The clutch is still very usable, just feels like it wants to stick to the floor... Happens on moist, raining/ snowy days... Last time (6 mo ago) I bought a new slave cylinder and never installed it because just bleeding the lines seemed to fix it... I feel safe assuming although that something is leaking although. With the bleeding fixing it before and it seeming to relate to moist weather I thought it might be a contaminated fluid thing. So, I think, just to be safe, I will change the slave cylinder and the fluid.
