Absolutely, a badly timed engine can run like a heap of S--t
if the timing belt becomes streched, it changes the relationship between the camshaft and crankshaft. Which will in turn effect the valve timing and engine performance. That is why many engines use automatic tensioners to prevent this from happening
The timing belt effects your camshaft timing, and in some engines your ignition timing (if the distributor or crank trigger runs off a pulley driven by your timing belt). Directly, your timing belt has no effect on your shifting. However, variances in camshaft timing will make your engine run differently and that MAY effect at what point the transmission shifts.

Variable valve timing (VVT) is a technology used in internal combustion engines to optimize performance, efficiency, and emissions by adjusting the timing of the opening and closing of the engine's intake and exhaust valves. This is achieved through mechanisms like adjustable camshafts or hydraulic actuators that alter the valve timing based on engine speed and load. By varying the timing, VVT allows for improved engine performance at different RPMs, enhancing low-end torque and high-end power. Ultimately, VVT helps engines deliver better fuel efficiency and reduced emissions.
