Dan, I can't say for sure but I just finished my Mondial today. It may be a little different but the principals should be the same. I have never seen a 348 up close as far a maintainence but you can probably figure out from this.

Place the car on a jack stand on the belhousing side. Probably drives for US vehicles. Take of the wheel and the wheel well. Locate the slave valve and the bleeding screw.

Fill or top up the master cylinder reservoir as necessary.

Clean the area around the bleed valve on the slave cylinder and remove the rubber dustcap from the valve, where fitted.

Fit one end of a bleed tube to the bleed valve and submerge the other end in a small quantity of hydraulic fluid in a clean jar.

Open the bleed valve and slowly depress the clutch pedal. Allow the pedal to return unassisted. Repeat this procedure until the fluid emerging from the bleed tube is completely free from air bubbles. Do not allow the reservoir to become less than half full during this operation.
When bleeding is successfully completed, remove the bleed tube. Check the bleed valve is properly closed, then refit the rubber dust cap. Finally, top up the master cylinder reservoir.

Does anyone know the proper procedure for bleeding the clutch on a 90' 348?
