What will happen if i downshift at 6k, will the transmition allow it?

The transmission does not stop you from down shifting. The rev limiter will cut the throttle if you exceed redline over ~7500 rpm. Manual mode of AT is just "manual" in this car with a very useful rev match. There is just no clutch. I never downshifted directly to a rev above redline though. It is a good thing if AT stops that from happening instead of letting the rev limiter cutting the throttle right after downshift.
