Has anyone else experienced difficulties changing from 2-wheel
to 4-wheel drive in an S10?

I find that I can move the selector lever from 2 to 4 easily
only after I've driven the truck for a while.  If I try to
change from 2 to 4 before driving for a while, the lever
stops; it won't move to the 4 position.  It takes between
2 and 30 minutes of driving to free up the mechanism (I
haven't measured it precisely).

I've also noticed that if I set the transfer in neutral,
changing the shift selector (auto transmission), produces
unpleasant grinding.  The dealer's mechanic says this is
normal!  Is it difficult to design synchronization into
these 4-wheel contraptions?
