Explanation:
I think...because it helps block the tranny, and you would use it to start off anyway, in this case

Explanation:
Hallo!

Nicht, daß ich Expertin wäre, aber das hier habe ich im Leo-Forum gefunden, und Google spuckt tatsächlich was dazu aus...:

short gear

Comment:
Ich bin kein Fachmann, aber ich denke, dass ein Kurzgang ein Untersetzungsgang ist. LKW und Traktoren besitzen z.T. eigene Kurzganggetriebe, die den Antrieb unter Last bewerkstelligen. Rennautos benutzen wohl auch Kurzganggetriebe, die dann hochtourig laufen und fuer die entsprechende Beschleunigung sorgen. Such mal unter ''Short gear'' und Tractor bei google, da gibt es einiges.
