Only automatics can "slip" internally, manuals have no surfaces that can slip (it's all just gears meshed together). Unless you're thinking of the clutch, which is completely separate from the internal trans/fluid.

You're safe to change the fluid.

sidenote: automatics can certainly slip after a transmission flush
