Tremec TKO Transmission

In keeping with the tradition of American engines powering the Allards, the standard Allard J2X MkII comes with a 350 hp fuel-injected GM RamJet V8. The new 5.7 liter AND 6.1 liter Chrysler Hemi and the Cadillac Northstar are provided as options. Transferring over 400 ft. / lbs of torque to the back wheels is a task that the Tremec TKO 5-speed transmission does very efficiently.

This fully synchronized competition grade unit has a fifth-gear overdrive to ensure effortless cruising and fuel economy.

Rear Section / Differential

Similarity to the original deDion rear suspension, the J2X MkII has a tough 9” centre-section housed in a cast aluminium alloy block. The half-shafts are of hardened steel with equally strengthened universal joints. With its 13” cross-drilled disk brakes located next to the differential, the reduction of unsprung weight on the wheels provides a smoother ride and minimal loss of traction on uneven surfaces. The front and rear independent suspensions can be adjusted to the driving task at hand with four fully-adjustable coil-over billet aluminium gaz shocks. The front suspension consists of tubular upper and lower heavy-wall seamless steel unequal A-arms with fully-adjustable caster and camber. Similar to the back, braking is handled with 13” 4-piston Wilwood disc brakes. Steering is done through a rack & pinion unit.
