The coordinate transformation law for a affine connection has a homogeneous term with one upper and two lower index factors, and an inhomogeneous term involving second coordinate derivatives. The latter is the same for both Levi-Civita connections, so it cancels in their difference. Consequently
T′abc​=∂xd∂x′a​∂x′b∂xe​∂x′c∂xf​Tdef​,​

which is exactly the tensor component transformation law. Equivalently, (∇−∇)X​Y is linear over functions in both X and Y.
