I think I read almost every response on this thread. I don't recall seeing a note on anybody replace this part in the t-case while it was cracked open
I would not expect any degradation in the magnetism of the magnet there, unless your AT got above about 1000*F (hopefully not ).

I'd wipe it off and clean it and reuse it. But if you do get a new one, I'd be interested to see results from any experiments you can do to compare the new vs. old. (e.g., see how many nails they can pick up).
