Prop-shaft Grease issue - maybe?
#11
If he has the OE prop-shaft he can't grease it, hence the assumption it was "greasable".
You are right though, he did not indicate.
IF he has the stock propshaft, he needs to ditch it ASAP as mileage and age will have dried the grease and he risks explosion and tranny damage.
His choice would be another OE-sealed shaft (good for another 100k miles or until it explodes, whichever comes first) or a serviceable prop-shaft which takes more work and upkeep, but in return you'll more than likely get an indication of failure with the possibility of repair before anything catastrophic (and expensive) happens.

It could be an OE propshaft rebuilt with greaseable u-joints (considering that most probably have been by now). Or it could be the rear propshaft he's talking about.
Now that I think about it, he may be trying to use a standard grease gun tip on a flush center head fitting, or even a flush u-joint fitting. Overall the OP is vague.

We should have a sticky stating just that. Edit you title with "Problem Solved", I am going to go back on my posts and edit if they are useful.
