If your speaking of the TCC solenoid, it is behind the transmission side cover clipped in to the upper control valve body. It is primarily accessible with the transmission removed from the vehicle. If you plan to go as far to replace just the solenoid, there are other things to consider like fluid circuit seals, the converter itself, the valves involved, and potentially wiring. A successful repair will depend on an accurate diagnosis.
