You don't have to be a Omega owner to join OOF but it helps

Where are you located? Its just that in the UK Omegas are quite cheap now and that it dosn't take very much for them to be scrapped - so there is a good supply of second hand parts.

The gearbox is quite reliable, although you should think about getting the fluid changed at some point within the first few months of ownership.
