I have a general PDK questions.
Since it is a Dual clutch, is replacing the clutches a maintenance item like a typical manual clutch?

Yes, but with several caveats: The dual clutch is immersed in oil for cooling, so it should last a long time. Currently, there is only one supplier, and it comes as an assembly costing around $5K.

Can you estimate what mileage replacement may be needed ?

Not really, the system is too new. The only ones we have seen that needed replacement were because the owners beat the living Hell out of them using launch control too often. Even then, they were under warranty so we don't really know how that played out.
