If your going to go to the hassle of a manual transmission swap, go with a t5. There are so many different gear ratios and build up parts for these it's crazy. T5's are easy to source and are everywhere and fairly cheep. Tremec is still building complete units.
You can use the d24 or d24t bell housing depending on what adapter you get.
The founder of the site did a t5 swap in his original zf car. That's the only 7xx series diesel car that I'm aware of sporting the T5. There is a build thread somewhere.
