I can't understand the point you are trying to make. A shift from 6 to 4 will essentially happen just like it would with SMG or with a manual for that matter. Disengage clutch, disengage 4th gear, engage 6th gear, engage clutch.

Very simple.

The other clutch and output shaft needn't be involved with the shift at all. Now, its quite likely that there will be some activity on that shaft very soon after the shift from 6 to 4 completes, since the software will reassess which gear it predicts you will go to next (either 3rd or 5th now, rather than either 5th or 7th as it would have been when you were in 6th gear). But this is all secondary to the shift itself, and at no time must the other clutch be closed during the 6 to 4 shift.
