Question for car tards...automatic ransmission

I put a new yoke into my Ford truck this past weekend. Since I was on the side of a road on dirt and sand and rain/snow were threatening I did two things I am concerned about. I slapped some grease (lithium wheel bearing type - red) on the inside splines of the yoke and now I'm wondering what is stopping it from mixing with the trany fluid and what consequences I should expect if it does. I used about two finger-fulls and wiped away about one fingerful. The other thing is I forgot to shake the Loctite before bolting on the rear yoke to the dif. I'm not too concerned about that, though as I'd rather roll over than buy and install a new (wrecking yard) transmission.

It's raining now and will snow tonight. Should I take the yoke out and wipe the grease off?
