Dry dual-clutch transmission in Dacia Duster exhibits rough low-speed shifting and sluggish takeoff when hot, especially with A/C on, and mechanics cannot diagnose without error codes.

Mechanics lack ability to diagnose intermittent heat-related transmission issues without diagnostic trouble codes, and no accessible tool for clutch bite-point relearn or manufacturer software updates.
