I know there's a lot of skepticism about taking a car like a Lamborghini to a workshop in an industrial area of Sharjah and honestly I was right there with you six months ago when my 2008 Gallardo Spyder started giving me the dreaded e-gear clutch slip warnings along with that jerky engagement in first that made parallel parking feel like I was learning to drive a manual for the first time, and after the official dealer in Dubai quoted me a figure that included a new clutch assembly and actuator and something about recalibrating the system with a laptop that only exists in Sant'Agata Bolognese I seriously considered just listing the car on Dubizzle with a "needs minor work" disclaimer and washing my hands of it. A guy I know from the local supercar club who runs a few rentals told me quietly that he sends all his older Gallardos and Huracans to a specialist up in Sharjah because they've got the proper Texa diagnostic equipment and they rebuild the e-gear actuators instead of just throwing new parts at the problem, so I did some digging and ended up on this site https://gearboxrepairsharjah.ae/brands/lamborghini/ and after a few phone calls where the mechanic actually explained the clutch wear index reading process and the pump prime pressure values I decided to take the plunge and honestly it was the best decision I've made with this car. They had the actuator rebuilt and the clutch replaced in about a week and sent me updates throughout including videos of the PIS adjustment being done, and now the car shifts smoother than when I bought it three years ago and I'm not scared of every stoplight anymore, so yeah just wanted to add my voice to the choir that sometimes the unassuming place in Sharjah is exactly where you want to take your angry Italian V10 when it decides to misbehave.
