Happens most often under full throttle on the highway when I've shifted into 4th or 5th gear to pass and then back to 6th to continue cruising.
I get that too, you really have to be at a steady speed and let the rpm settle in to where they should be for 6th before shifting into it to avoid it, at least in my experience.
