I think you're right, I've heard people say that if you grab a prop, then up to about 1/8 (sic) a rotation is fine?

Yea, mine does it and all the UJs are fine. My dads TD5 has done it since it came out the factory.

Its means youve got to control the drive power carfully at low speeds or it will judder, but the "Clonk...CLONK!" noise as you change up a gear whalst accelerating is one of my favorite things about the vehicle.
