No. It circulates fluid when ever the engine runs.

Drove my car home from the track with split torque converter and a blown front seal, barely any trans fluid but it made it. I had no idea of either of these till i got home. Not something i would recommend though. Trans was actually fine but the converter, not so much. Put some fluid in.
