I have not put anything on battery post connections except the old fiber wheel bearing grease that doesn't seem to be sold anymore. I had folks say not to do that but it worked for me back in the day. Haven't done it in a while. I have a Lincoln that uses a spade type connector on the starter...

It has been a lot of years since I worked as a Ford dealer line mechanic, but this problem sounds vaguely familiar. The shift lever moves a spool valve to select the gears and it sounds like maybe they missed the correct slot in that spool valve when they installed the valve body.
