What you're seeing on the bushing wear isn't necessarily an ultrabell problem. The discharge side of the pump forces the gear and converter neck to one side from the hydraulic pressure so wear on one side is normal.. That said, hanging the bell housing on 6 8mm bolts doesn't guarantee good alignment.
