It sounds like a connection is bad.
1. battery terminal loose
2. ground connection at the battery is rusty
3 same at the transmission, clean both end of strap.
4 there are starter related issues too.
Clean and sand paper the surface of both the connectors and the surface it
connects to.
When done, spray undercoating on it to stop corrosion.

Start with the battery and then the starter itself.
