An initial guess would be a worn engine mount...

Depending on what way the gearbox is set up it could be a detent device also but a mount would be suspect no. 1.

Rev the van in neutral. If the gearstick is jumping around a lot then its a duff mounting. Apart from hopping out of gear, this could break your exhaust.
