Default too much grease in fitting in 700 EFI driveshaft

With the right footwell removed in my 2005 700 EFI, I had an easy access to grease the fitting in the drear driveshaft. It took a lot of grease until it started coming out the front by the yoke.
Later, in looking through the manual, it said do apply no more than 3 pumps of grease. Did I blow a seal or something, or will it be all right?
Thanks

NOPE! There is just a small o-ring at the back of the yoke that stops grease from going towards the tranny,but grease can go forwards into the yoke body which doesn't hurt anything! If anything it might sling a little grease around which is far better than having a dry shaft as you see on many that are never greased!! PS if you have a flex hose on your grease gun you can grease the fitting by having the zerk fitting facing sideways and going under the floorboard! I'm all for making things easier! OPT
