If your 2009 Dodge Caliber SXT 2.0 is moving slowly in reverse but drives fine in forward, it could be a sign of a transmission issue. Here are a few potential causes:

Low Transmission Fluid: Check your transmission fluid level and condition. If the fluid level is low, it can cause transmission slipping or other issues.
Clogged Transmission Filter: A clogged transmission filter can restrict fluid flow and cause slow movement in reverse.
Faulty Torque Converter: A faulty torque converter can cause the vehicle to move slowly in reverse. This is because the torque converter multiplies torque and if it's not functioning properly, it can cause slow acceleration.
Worn Transmission: Over time, transmission components can wear out, causing issues with shifting and slow movement in reverse.

It's recommended to have a professional mechanic diagnose and repair any transmission issues as they can be complex and dangerous to work on without proper training and equipment.

Please respond to my effort to provide you with the best possible solution by using the "Acceptable Solution" and/or the "Helpful" buttons when the answer has proven to be helpful.
