It may but check the following first. Have you ever changed the timing belt? If not then do so pronto! It should be changed every 90000 miles - you should be on your third timing belt. If this belt breaks it will cause catostrophic engine damage. Check the spark plugs - spark plug wires - ignition coils or distributer cap and rotor ( whichever your engine has).
Your engine has a lot to do with the shifting points of the transmission. If your timing is off from a stretched timing belt, or the engine has failing ignition parts, the computer tells the transmission false information - thus causing erratic shift points.
