Working on the clutch is easier and probably cheaper than tearing into the transmission.  Get the FSM from the home page of our little forum, pull the clutch, and inspect all the plates.  Check the basket for warpage, and check the springs. It's possible there's some weak springs in the clutch pack. If you're getting 12 more horses, that's an increase of about 20% over stock.

Getting into the trans means splitting the case halves. If you're going to re-do the cosmetics on the engine over the winter, I'd hold off on the tranny work until then.

It sounds like there's an  836 kit installed, maybe.  I don't know if the trans gears from the CB900 would fit in a CB750 case. That would be an interesting and potentially beneficial upgrade if it would work.
