740 td transmission (zf) swap questions... 700 1985

Well I have not (up until now) been much of a volvo guy, so please excuse my ignorance....

I am looking at a 740 turbo diesel wagon with a bad automatic zf tranny...

I would like have it up and running as quickly as possible, and in a quick local junkyard search, I haven't been able to find any other cars with the zf model transmission...

Also, from reading around on these forums, it seems that the zf is not well respected, so my question is: what other trannys will work? (I am hopefully looking for a direct swap)... I would probably prefer a manual, but I just don't have the time to set it up right now... If it is not going to be a direct swap, what more am I looking at?

A quick description of the automatic transmissions avaliable and on how hard these transmisions are to install/ work on would also be greatly appreciated. (I found the transmission page on this site, but I think that presonal experience would be much more helpfull...)

Thank You!
Greg
