Os88 Information

Hi guys,can get a really good deal on an OS88 series 1.Was just wondering whats the difference to the series 2?Obviously they made changes for a reason so i need to make a decision,Any information would be great.

Is it possible it just refers to the different ratio options (Option 1, 2 or 3)? ... or (just to prove I know nothing) S1 is 5 speed S2 is 6 speed?

See here:

Plus clutch, plus cross member from what i remember last time we looked......

Can be found cheaper locally if you know who to ask.

There are ratio options 1,2,3 and 4 but there is also series 1 and 2 with internal and casing upgrade, I have series 2 with the extended sump for more oil capacity

Ok,XKLABA that was the answer i was looking for.I knew they changed something.Do you know what year they changed series?The series1 is probably still an excellent box but worries me spending big coin on a superseeded product.Do you know what the internal modifications were?Bigger shafts,gears,dogs????

I believe it's just the extended pan. All the gear inside is the same.

That's what the Series 2 pan looks like.

ok Piggaz,thanks for that,so they must of thought more oil was needed.What about the internals XKLABA mentioned?

[Piggaz]

I believe it's the same box internally.

Not a lot of info around about the OS88's. God knows why.

[XKLABA]

I believe the internal mods were to do with oiling or filtration, as Paul said not alot of info about it
