Does the wobble/vibration stop after a higher speed? Is the wheel out of trueness(Buckled)?. Could the balancing be incorrect? Is the tyre sitted correctly?.
As the vibration only happens at 70mph and is not felt below i would try getting the wheel re-balanced
As for the noise from the gearbox when in neutral is nothing to worry about mine does the same.
Trust me I am a retired Doctor and lecturer at Oxford University of Structural and Mechanical/Electrical engineering.
