Speaking of which. I put in a total of almost 3oz of 30k. One full bottle and just under half of the other.

I haven't really noticed a noise issue with it
I used the same amount for the blue hubs
I only ordered one tube and just showed up, 2oz total. Leaving tomorrow for Steamboat and Utah so I guess I will just run the new clutch as is till I get the proper fluid. My local hobby stores didn't have it either.

2oz is fine FWIW. I just wanted more 
That's good to know I'm in the same boat just special ordered mine as we'll 2 oz.

That is not a spring. That is a piece of bi-metal formed in a coil. Each side of the metal is a different alloy that has a different thermo-coefficient of expansion. As the temperature changes one side expands and contracts at a different rate as compared to the other causing a rotation. Once forcibly bent the designed expansion properties will be damaged and may no longer expand in a liner fashion. The screw adjustment is similar to pre-loading or positioning adjustment.

I know what it is. For the sake of everyone understanding what I'm talking about...spring.

May work, possibly too much. The test that I always do; when first started, it will have to pump the fluid into the reservoir, so will be "on", throttle up (1500-2000ish rpm) and hold it. The fan will be blowing big time, within a minute or so, the clutch should disengage, the fan get quiet. If it doesn't, it has more fluid than will fit in the reservoir, is overflowing, will be "on" full time, will need to remove some fluid.
About 45ml/1.5oz works great, don't see the need for more?

Since when is 'more' not 'better' ?
Why stop there, just fill it all of the way up!

I will take note. I got everything mostly buttoned up but not ready to start it yet. Leaving for the weekend so I'll complete this on Monday.

just as a note I always dump in 50ml without issue. That is the bottle size I buy.

About 1.5oz or ~45ml will work fine in all of them. The Eaton has the largest reservoir/smallest overflow hole, will easily hold 60ml+. On the Aisin clutches, adding more fluid extends the startup roar with each cold start, the Eaton has an anti drainback setup, so has little/no startup roar. Adding more fluid does nothing for performance, maybe slight improvement in fluid life, maybe?

I have three clutches sitting on my workbench. I could pull a few out and send them to you

You need a tap. I can send you one as well so long as I get it back
Can you remove the other side of bolt out the other way?
Send me your info
NLXTACY, let me check with the local toyota tomorrow and make sure they don't have any, before I put you through any trouble. Either way, thanks very much for the offer, I'd like to get this thing done the right way and not just add heavier fluid.
I've got the bolt out. I drilled the head off. Thoughts on cleaning that half to get rid of any left over shards? Brake cleaner too harsh?
And to be clear, I'm talking about one of the two adjusting bolts that's on the inside of the clutch.

You worried about shards getting inside? Or just worried about the shards in general? If you are worried about inside, I would personally use something that doesn't leave a residue. Maybe electronics cleaner.
I found it best to use an impact driver for those screws as well. I also happen to have a JIS Philip set for the impact so I knew I wouldn't have to worry about stripping it.
I can open up one of the other clutches if you need one. Let me know.
