    I'm not really sure of what you have or are trying to install.
    Removed moen shower diverter valve
    Are you saying you unsoldered
    The entire valve and removed it?
    Un able to install new diverter,
    What part are you calling a diverter? Could you be referring to a cartridge? (see image)
    new diverter, will not thread in receiver
    Again, I you're talking about a cartridge when you say "receiver" do you mean the valve body? Cartridges do not thread in. They slip in and are secured by a copper horseshoe clamp.
    Threads do not appear to be damaged
    I want to know what part's threaded. Back to you. Tom
