No, the CVs are fine.  It must be something inside the transmission.

Most of the time when a Vanagon suddenly won't propel in any gear it is
because of a problem with a CV axle. Usually all the bolts back out on
one CV joint until the last 1 or 2 snap off. Look closely at the side
flanges of the tranny when it is in gear and engine running but won't
go. If either side flange is rotating then the problem is with an axle
on that side.
