Default 340 manual clutch noise and heater woes

Hi y'all,
I am a newbie to Volvo and have a 1990 34o GL manual. I have two questions and would appreciate any advice.
On depressing the clutch there is a rumbling noise from the clutch housing, which disapears when the pedal is released. It sounds like dry or worn bearings. I have been told this is a common noise on 340s. Is this correct and what is the likely cause.?
My second question is that the heater is not particularly effective in that the heat output is poor. cleaning and backflushing the matrix has not helped much. Is this common to the 340s? Or should I just buy a hat and gloves LOL.
P.S. The thermostat is new and cooling system is in good order and temp gauge is reading normal.

Thank-you:) :)
