.....Hmmmmm, how does mud on a rim "break the balance" of the entire chassis?

It still concerns me. I've seen other posts discussing this chassis error. The common denominator appears to be lowered cars and aggressive driving.

I'd be curious if you see that error again without mud on your rims.

Unfortunately this same thing happened to me and we have some similar mods... Had to pull over in limp mode and the car would not shift into gear with the transmission malfunction and chassis stabilization error. After a few minutes of having the car off, I restarted and it was completely fine. Hasn't thrown any errors since.
