4th - 5th - turn palm slightly clockwise like going 2nd-3rd, and push up up and away
5th-6th - palm opened towards 6th gear gate, push down and away

You describe it exactly how I have been doing it for over 20 years. I grew up on manuals so never really thought about it but you have described it really well. By the way, no one mentioned this year but it is a bad item to permanently rest your hand on the shifter like it was an arm rest. I have seen a lot of folks do it.
