V1 Free spinning driveshaft?

[PHENDERSON]

I'm about to attempt my first start...more scared than excited. I had to install my driver side driveshaft to prevent trans fluid from leaking out. Is there enough friction in neutral that if the engine is running my driveshaft will start spinning? I don't have any of the rear end finished so it's hanging un supported.

Yes it will. Use some jack stands or anything to help support them or you could mess up the bearings inside or even the rubber boots

Tbh, I'd start it as is with no CV. Trans fluid is super easy to change, so just change it before your first rip. It'll literally take you all of 5 minutes.

V1 - tool list

I searched for a tool list and have not found one, yet. I know that the majority of the tools needed are normal, standard sizes. But, there are some outliers that I have come across already like - 35mm socket for my axle nut, fuel line connector release tool, T50 Torx socket, etc. I know some...
