Which transmission?

The kickdown cable on a TH-350 is on the side of the case, not the front, so a cable leak should not spew ATF onto the pump.

Clean the transmission well, run it for a few minutes, shut it off, then carefully check again for the leak.

Note that if the leak appears to be coming from the front of the transmission, it could be the input shaft seal, or the pump-to-case seal, or any of the seals used on the bolts that hold the pump to the case. Also, although more rare, the front of the transmission pan could be leaking.

It sound like more investigation needs to be done before you proceed.
