Answer
Rey,
First thing you may want to do is check with the dealership to see if your transfer case has ever been changed.  About 6 years ago, Mitsubishi issued a safety recall on transfer cases for Eclipses and Galants.  If your transfer case is the original from the factory, you may be able to get a brand new one installed for free from the dealership.

And yes, same transfer case from a 91 Galant VR-4 and other AWD 90-91 DSM cars (Eclipse, Talon, Laser) will work.  I believe the spline counts on all of them is 22.  The later '92 VR-4 (manufacturered in 7/91, used a 23 spline count.

Part # MD758205 - [spline count 23]
Part # MD739053 (MD743709) - [spline count 22]

But the best thing to do is call up your local dealership, give them your VIN and ask them to confirm the part numbers.  Or, you can send me a follow-up message with your VIN and I can give you an exact match for your car.
Good luck!
