What causes a humming vibration when the vehicle reaches a speed of approximately 35?

I am assuming you have overdrive in the unit. If you have been pulling a trailer in o/d for any length of time you my have damaged the clutches in the transmission. you can put up with it but eventually you'll have to have the trany rebuilt. pull the trailers in drive not overdrive. The other option may be a bad valve in the valve body or a piece of clutch material is wedged in a valve. have a certified transmission mechanic test drive the unit before doing costly repairs.
