As the title says, I know that different shifts mean different gear sizes bein used, but I don’t understand why it makes you unable to start moving the car. I have been able to start a couple of cars on the 2nd shift as an experiment and I understand that I could damage the car and I do it just once for testing purposes but I don’t understand why I cannot do so on other shifts. To clarify, I mean start as in start moving the car and not just turning the car on. Thanks

You’re also risking a stall the higher gear you go. Since on manual cars the pistons are essentially directly linked with the wheels, if you start at low speed, that means not enough RPM for the engine to sustain
