What can I use? Is this the right toy for my little game?
Yes, mkvtoolnix is the right package for this task. I would suggest you take these steps:
  1. Extract the subtitles from the mkv file,
  2. Edit the extracted subtitle file and correct the timestamps,
  3. Remux the source mkv file without the bogus subtitle track and add the corrected subtitle file at the same time.

A short example of how to do this:
  1. Use mkvextract or the mkvextract GUI that can be found somewhere here on the forum for extraction. Let's call the resulting file "subs.srt".
  2. Use whatever software you like -- a plain text editor or a special subtitle editor -- for editing "subs.srt".
  3. Start mmg, the mkvmerge GUI. Then add the original file. You'll see that several tracks appear in mmg's track list. DEselect the defective subtitle track. Now add "subs.srt" and mux everything into a new file.
