Don't have one
TCC doesn't " kick down; it is engaged or disengaged by the computer
Also disengages when you hit the brake pedal
Trans " kicks down " by the throttle valve cable

If you are referring to the TCC solenoid, it is under the pan in the front.
It is secured with two bolts and slips into the pump housing.

If you don't know where the pan and pump on your auto trans are ;
you are way out of your depth working on the TCC solenoid

A solenoid is just a relay...A relay could be located almost anyplace in most applications.
there are several "pans" on most cars not just the tranny... same w/pumps...same with solenoids.
Why didn't you just answer the question instead of informing me of lack of skill pertaining to auto transmissions.
I'm not the only one that has this question.
