The timing belt would be low on my causes of bad fuel economy. It would not be a factor on the transmission at all. Do some searches for "fuel economy" to get an idea of things to address. Usually it involves cleaning up the emissions and fuel delivery systems.
If you are doing mainly highway driving without overdrive that might be the reason for poor fuel economy.
I believe that the change interval for a 97 model was every 60,000 miles so you may be able to hold off on that until about 190000 km - 200000 km.
