Yes, absolutely. The transmission runs at a much higher pressure than the cooling system so it will over pressurize the cooling system and eventually draw coolant into the transmission.
Pull the transmission dipstick and see if it looks off. If so, I would stop driving until it is repaired and the transmission is flushed.
