don't worry, i've answered my own question. not a good idea; grinding noise worse with prop shaft off and even worse still when you de-accelerate. i am almost sure now its the splined sleeve/collar which has stripped. i had hoped with no load on prop shaft there would be no reason for the splined collar to turn on the output shaft; but not to be! fast falling out of love with volvo's.
