The "chattering" flywheel sounds like the dual mass flywheel is badly worn. Pull transmission to check. But that has nothing to do with your weird oil pressure.

Get an oil sample and have it analysed by Blackstone.
Have the shop drop the sump to check for metal debris.
Get a second opinion from another shop.
In other words. gather more data.
