No.

Unless you are flooring the gas pedal and spinning the wheels on the ice and when you hit a dry patch it jerks to a sudden stop. If you do that for some time it will eventually cause some kind of damage.

But normal, safe driving behaviour on ice will not cause transmission problems.

Here in Canada we drive 4 to 6 months per year in icy conditions. This does not damage the vehicles. Most winter driving damage is caused by the use of sodium-based abrasives on the roads that accelerates corrosion and eventually causes problems.

Ice is ok on your body, but it can cause problems if it is in contact for too long. When you ice a joint for a sprain or for anything else, wrap the ice in a cloth or paper towel and don't let it stay in contact even wrapped up for more than 20 min at a time!
