Naa, its not a unique problem. Its probably happened many times and probably has never even been known.
It may be difficult or impossible to get the grease out of the transmitter just by trying to drain it. I've removed the top and flushed it out with diesel or kerosene [whichever we had].
When greasing the u-joint just pull the speedo drive [ the 2- 1/4" bolts] and that should give you an indication when the joint housing is full.
