I'm about to replace my clutch and I need to know how much brake fluid to get. I'm gonna get the ATE Super Blue and I'm bypassing the dampener thing, will jsut 1 can be enough?

Yes, but don't spill a ton. :)

You can generally assume that any system (clutch, brake, what have you) will take no more than 2X the volume of the reservoir to bleed, and 4X to purge. Just a general rule of thumb.

Get rid of the dampener system, for one.

1 can should be enough to bleed your clutch.
