That's a good idea. He meant to say you should cycle through every gear and wait a second at each gear until you get to 1, after that switch back to neutral.

Sorry about the technical stuff, when the van shudders you mentioned the engine wouldn't accelerate at all, if the RPM's go up but the van doesn't moves then it would be a transmission problem. If the van doesn't moves at all it will be a different problem more likely an engine problem.
