No. Only when you check the level. It's just easier to leave it running so you can check it right away.

I have a 1994 Isuzu Trooper and it has issues upshifting at lower speeds. How do I check the fluid level in the transmission when there is no dipstick?
Yes it does. The proper way to check automatic transmission fluid is to check it while engine is at idle.
To add transmission fluid to a 1985 Isuzu Trooper 4x4, locate the transmission dipstick tube, which is typically found near the back of the engine bay. Remove the dipstick, and using a funnel, pour the recommended type of transmission fluid into the tube. Be sure to check the fluid level with the dipstick after adding fluid to ensure it is at the correct level. Always consult the owner’s manual for specific fluid type and capacity.
When changing the filter and fluids of a car, it is important to know the fluid capacity. A 2000 Isuzu Trooper uses 9.1 quarts of transmission fluid.
if it is an automatic then yes, if it is a standard transmission then no
To add transmission fluid to a 1994 Isuzu Trooper, locate the transmission dipstick tube, which is typically found near the back of the engine, close to the firewall. Remove the dipstick, and use a funnel to pour the appropriate type of transmission fluid into the tube. Ensure the fluid level is checked with the dipstick after adding, and only add fluid as necessary to reach the proper level. Always check the owner's manual for specific fluid type and capacity.
The transmission fluid dipstick is located on the passenger side near the top rear of the engine. With the engine running, remove the dipstick and check the level on the stick.
Any engine needs to running, and at normal operating temperature, before ever checking the transmission fluid level. Checking this fluid without the engine running will give false readings indicating a full reservoir, when in fact if running, may not even be half full in some instances. Equally as bad as a half full transmission is one that is overfilled - too much of a good thing will also kill the transmission.
