Is it possible to install a switch on a Mitsubishi Eclipse to change the torque split: more to the front, more to the rear,
100% to the rear...

I have the switchable transmission and the T-case. Yeah interesting, I am curious so I am planning to open them up to see how it is. Mine is 22 spline but maybe there is 23 spline also if the unit was with the late GVR4. Seems to be useful if there is no awd dyno nearby.No.
There was however a transmission and t-case combo that allowed you to run AWD or FWD, but you had to pull a retention clip on the trans and a second on the t-case, allowing the viscous coupler in the trans to "lock", and the t-case to disengage. They must be used in tandem to function properly, and I believe the spline counts are specific, but not 100% on that aspect. I have one of the transmissions in my posession, it's an interesting piece.
So, not really a way to bias more to the rear vs front.

I believe the intention was to increase fuel efficiency for times when AWD wasn't necessary, not sure if Dyno was a consideration, but nowadays it does make for an easier time when tuning on the Dyno!
I haven't disassembled a switchable t-case, but the trans is interesting, as the retention for the peg slides a ring up and down on the viscous coupler, allowing it to do it's normal job (peg locked in) or be locked (peg free in out position) like a VCE or welded CD.
I assume the t-case is similar, and has a collar that locks the output shaft together or disconnects it.
