You'll find it's a bitch to shift into neutral, also I believe, very
hard on the gears in your lower end. As for the hose try these guys:

I order parts from them, even after shipping and GST up here (Canada) it
still costs less than the local dealers.

You can, but you have to do considerable dissassembly to replace it, and if
one bellows is bad, the others may not be far behind, so if it was me, I'd
replace them all.
