I've always thought it was the R25 for everything except the 3.0 and 3.2 that had the R28. That's just from memory, so may well be wrong.
I've found all manual Omega's, even low mileage one's to have fairly sloppy gear knobs...in gear you can wiggle them about a bit...but again that can be found on most other manual vehicles.
Is it the gear changes sloppy, or just the knob itself?

I think the gearchange mechanism is the same as every other Getrag-equipped RWD Vauxhall
