I had an 85 S-10 and a 93 Jimmy, they were both 5-speeds and both were hydraulic.
don't comprehend what you mean by hydraulic linkage. the shifter mounts on top of the tailhousing and is a straight internal mechanism.
perhaps you are refering to the later hydraulic clutch setup

As stated in the article:
Another advantage is that the shifting linkages are internal, improving clearance for easier conversion because external shift linkage clearance is not an issue. The T-5 used in the GM models incorporates a hydraulic clutch master on the firewall and slave attached to the bell housing to provide smoother shifting with less effort than with a conventional mechanical clutch linkage.
