I started a topic here called:
OM-4 speed ring help needed Tue Oct 03, 2006
And before I switched my focus to this list I posted a very useful question
about this problem at
http://www.photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=00IG1S&tag= Hope the link
works. If not it's www.photo.net Olympus forum, OM-4 hard to turn shutter
speed ring by S Revlis (2006-09-30)
I hope you can find them both and they help.

Another list member had this problem about a month ago. Replacing the
shutter speed dial is probably required. Constant rubbing of the steel
ball bearing over the rectangular slots of the dial, causes round
distortions of the slots in which the BB gets trapped.
