Both. I changed my 357xp to 3/8 as well, transforms it in my eyes. You will need to get a sprocket for a 560/562 as they don't list one for a 550, fits straight on with no other parts to alter (bar and chain obviously).

Nope you have to change the clutch drum as well as the 325 and 3/8 sprocket centre's are different sizes.

Channged both 560s over and ordered the 550 to come with it as means I have 6 saws all running the same size chain so get reals and make up to suit which works out a fair bit cheaper.

I think you can get a small spline 3/8 .
