The valve body's been fully cleaned and re-rebuilt. The gaskets had only seen brief use, so I put those between shop towels to absorb excess fluid and they went back in nicely. There's one enclosed checkball that sticks despite seemingly-effective cleaning during the last rebuild, so that will definitely be replaced. Everything else in the valve body seems kosher.
However, based on the noise and fragments at the pan magnet, some new subassemblies will be unavoidable. Though infrequent on eBay, A43D subassemblies usually price at $80+ (USD). Just a couple weeks ago I was lucky to find a 2001 Tacoma at a local junkyard. Look how picked clean it was after only a month:

Despite nearly everything of value being ripped out of the abandoned truck, the transmission was left intact. Couldn't believe it. Two days later after finding it, I took some leave at work, crawled under the cab, laid down on a blue tarp, and wrenched away as several rainstorms curtained the open space around it. Price of the entire transmission with torque convertor? $70.
