Tengo duda que.....
Hola,
I am trying to decide which is the correct way to express the fact that I doubt that I will be able to remember something. Is it..
"Tengo duda que si recordaré....."or "tengo duda si recordaré....." or "tengo duda que recordaré.."???
Gracias para tú ayuda!

We Spanish would say: No sé si recordaré + verb (infitive)/ No sé si me acordaré de + verb (infinitive)
Examples: No sé si recordaré dónde he aparcado mi coche/ No sé si me acordaré de llamarte mañana
Notice that recordar has some connotations of a more distant memory and acordarse de has connotatios of spontaneous memory and it is used more commonly in ordinary language. Also, recordar is a bit more formal and acordarse de is more colloquial. Anyway, if you need to use the word duda, you must say: Tengo la duda de si me acordaré de llamarte/ Tengo la duda de si he apagado la luz antes de salir But this would sound a bit rare to a native speaker. In Spain, we would say: No sé si me acordaré de llamarte/ No sé si he apagado la luz antes de salir
Hope this has clarified your doubts.

Hello I am Spanish, irenean is right, In Spain it is said:
No sé si me acordaré de llamarte. (It's OK) Dudo que me acuerde de llamarte. (often not used)
The fact that "Duda" is used indicates doubt so even though there are ways used without subjunctive, ie: "Dudo poder recordar", I would say "Dudo que pueda recordar" as aileribel has mentioned or "Tengo duda que recuerde".
Podés decir: "Dudo si podré recordar" o "Tengo la duda si podré recordar". Son sólo alternativas.
I'd say:
"Tengo la duda de si podré recordarlo"
"Dudo que pueda recordarlo"
Yes, I agree. I even thought about "Tengo duda que yo podré recordar que.."
I don´t think you´d want both que and si as in your first example. I like the last best.
