"I spent a few weeks last year trying to get a friend's Ultima 2000 to work. The manual was poorly written and the only thing that saved me was the manual that I got from Starizona.
Many other seasoned amateur astronomers tried to get the thing to work (but I won't name names). They gave up, frustrated."
It's sad that you couldn't get it to work, and that your clutches didn't seem to behave (being adjustable you can usually get them "just-so")
Anecdote: my U2K want haywire last Winter. Go-to's were erratic, as was tracking - I was miserable at the thought of Premature U2K Death Syndrome. After talking to the marvelous Dean, and doing as much troubleshooting as I could - I replaced the handset cord! It has worked perfectly ever since.
I'm not for a moment suggesting that your U2K had something this simple go wrong.
But sometimes solutions can be as simple as a faulty connection.
BTW I always found it quicker to go to planets manually...
