AP1 Flywheel in 04+ (AP2)
How the daily commute? Is shifting any more rough? I've gotten my 1st-2nd shift silky smooth now with my stock flywheel and don't want to sacrifice if an AP1 flywheel makes it less smooth.

It shouldnt effect shifting at all. Everybody I know that has done this has been very happy and had no regrets. It shouldve came that way from factory. You might have to rev it a little higher to get it off the line, but not as much as you would with an aftermarket lightweight flywheel. Your revs will go up much faster and it will make daily driving much more easier.

How hard is it to swap out if I don't need clutch replacement? My '05 clutch still has plenty of life on it. Is this an afternoon job for two people? I've tried to look for a DIY but there doesn't seem to be one for flywheel removal.
Edit: I'm also looking for some first hand experiences, AP2 owners please share it would be very helpful.

^serious?
You obviously have to drain tranny.
remove tranny.
remove clutch.
remove flywheel.
place new flywheel
and reinstall everything else.
it's just like a clutch job, except you take the flywheel off.
If you've had previous experience, it's probably a walk in the park.
If not, expect to be down for the better amount of an entire day.
First clutch I did on my 240sx took me a night. 10pm - 3 or 4am.
RWD platforms are easy to work on, imo.
BTW, Tech?? I'm looking to get there by next spring or so!

If you don't want to fork over $ to a shop (which you shouldn't) and if you have another car you can drive around, go for it.
Just have someone that knows what they're doing around at all times.
I'd love to come help if you're in the metro ATL area.. all we'll need is a FSM and extensions and such.
