If I'm coasting at 55, and I put it in 5th gear to start up to make a hill ... that's wear on the synchronizer.
Pop starting wears the clutch. It can be hard on the converters. It can damage motor mounts. Starters are $200 ... good way to wear out a starter. Ignition switches are also expensive too for newer cars with the transponders.

My original transmission and clutch lasted past 515,000 miles despite lots of EOC and clutch popping restarts. I had to replace the transmission because the 5th gear bearings had worn out and disintegrated. The clutch still had plenty of wear left on it and the synchros showed no signs of problems.
