I used 'Nulon' fully synthetic ATF. It is recommended as a replacement for the ZF lifeguard 6, so I imagine it would be okay in the 5 speed too. It is a new product and when I called them they assured me it was fine for the ZF transmission. They do specify it's a full-fill ATF, so you'll have to drain, fill, run, drain, fill, run about 3 times. Irrespective, it's a fraction of the cost of the 'lifeguard' fluid and so far I've had no problems whatsoever.

I've attached an info sheet FYI.
