No, just when you check the fluid level.
That is a DEFINITE YES. Of course, certain manufacturers have you warm up the transmission before checking.
Others need to be running but in Neutral. Others need to be warmed up to operating temperature, then the gear shift placed in each gear from park to LOW 1, then back to park. Only then can the trans fluid be checked.
Most owner's manuals have the correct procedure.

When you should change car manual transmission fluid?
When the fluid no longer look red. Transmission fluid normally doesn't have to be changed that often. For a manual transmission, maybe after 100K. The manual transmission fluid is thicker and hardly ever breaks down. Unless the gears are clashing, etc. But for an automatic transmission: that would depend on how you drive you vehicle. A good idea for a transmission fluid change would be every 3rd to 4th motor oil change. The transmission fluid is completely different from motor oil, but will eventually wear out. I say a fluid and filter change. It is usually a bad idea to get a transmission flush if the transmission is doing good, so far.
