Gearbox recon question

Right, motor is in having what has been diagnosed as the input and shaft bearings and possible mesh in 2nd 3rd.
Now, it has a new dmf/clutch and centrcentric bit so what does a recon box entail exactly as I'm having the box repaired due to budgets so wondering if this is classed as a recon?

It sounds as if the box is being reconditioned. This is done by replacing internals in the box; bearings, syncros, etc. The clutch, DMF and release bearing are the coupling components connecting the engine and gearbox.
