1989 S-10 Blazer 4.3 mileage: 143,000. My manual 5-speed transmission will not shift into fifth gear. It works and shifts fine except gear 5? Before I take it in for what I am sure will be a huge wallet lightening experience, do you have any suggestions. I have auto mechanic experience and have replaced a few transmissions in my day. Is there anything I can try on my own before taking it in for service?

It sounds like an internal problem in the transmission. Not much to try on your own.
