Smile Where is the Shift Solenoid A located

Hello all another newbie here, first let me tell you what truck I have. It's a 2011 four door Dodge Dakota Big Horn with the 3.7 L engine, I'm not sure what transmission it has.
Yesterday I got a lit motor looking icon on my dash which after checking with a code reader was P0750, Shift Solenoid A.
I've searched the forum and can't find the location of this solenoid anywhere. Can someone tell me the location of this part and what it looks like?
I'll probably replace this part, plus the trans fluid and filter and then check the results after driving it around. Thanks in advance to everyone.

Don't know if you can replace just the one solenoid.... I think it's a whole pack of 'em. They are inside the trans. Should be visible once you drop the pan/filters.

Also, this forum is for full size trucks, moving this to the correct section for ya.

That's what my 2005 gave me and it ended up being the Automatic Transmission Kickdown Solenoid. You really should take to a dealer or good trans shop and have them check it over, there are about 4 or 5 different things that can cause that code to come up.
