Its SOHC. The 3000gt motor is DOHC, and is totally different than your motor. It sits 180* from the way your motor sits so transmission wont work either. If and when you buy parts anywhere for your car, tell them you own a 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT and you will get the part you need.

 

why should i tell them that are the parts different not disagreeing just wondering what the difference is

 

I ran into problems a lot when i first got my car. I have a 2.4 SOHC and the Sedan has a 2.4 DOHC. I would ask for say a Stratus lug stud for the wheel, and got the wrong part. I also got an incorrect belt. Since then, I just tell the auto store I own an Eclipse and I get the right part every time. You can't go wrong that way.
