industry insider,

You seem to have a good knowledge of the S-92 TR drivetrain. Another poster mentioned that the S-92 TR drivetrain components could be retrofit to the H-60 model. Is this true?

You mentioned that the S-92 TR drive intermediate gearbox would need to be upgraded to get the 1200 lb (?) increase in GW. What needs upgrading? Is it bearings, gears, lube system, housings, couplings, or some combination of these?

Also, do you have any idea how much margin (if any) there is in the rest of the S-92 TR drivetrain components with the CT7-8A's?

I'd appreciate any insight you could provide. TIA.
