GM Clutch Fluid: Source for single quart?
Went looking for GM Clutch Fluid [GM #12345347] today. Lots of people want to sell me 6 or 12 quarts. Who stocks and sells single quarts? BTW, I'm assuming one quart will do for a 'turkey baster' flush.

Is is safe to mix a synthetic and regular fluid together? I know you can get away with it with motor oil and tranny fluid, but I remember reading somewhere that you should completely flush the old fluid out when it comes to brakes and hydraulics.

I think you are refering to ATE Superblue brake fluid, great stuff, had to look all over the place to find it and i'm in Germany
The guys in 1 store that did have it probably think i'm crazy because i bought every can the had 
I did the turkey baster flush with ATE SL (just a little lower boiling point that Superblue and sold everywhere in Germany) and my clutch felt a million times better. I guess that it had gotten slowly worse over time and i never noticed it, but it really works well with the SL in it. There are some people that say don't use regular brake fluid in the clutch because it doesn't have an additive the clutch fluid has, but i've been doing the turkey baster flush every time i've gone to the track for the last 6 months and haven't had any problems.
