For the gear lever to pop out of 1st to me would indicate a box-selector issue rather than clutch. If it was clutch I would expect the linings or centre to be ripped off the friction plate. Unless you have been doing burnouts or letting your gran reverse it, a 1.4 shouldnt do that. and that wouldnt make it jump out of 1st.

take the plate of the bottom of the gearbox
(four 11mm bolts)
and see what falls out

Yea this would be my suggestion too although my mate once blew his clutch up in a xr3 escort and he had same symptoms would go in gear with engine running without dipping clutch etc but he had ragged it tbh.

shaft sounds like its too short or something is the circlip on the end of the inner cv ok? did you use the 1.4 shafts although i think there all the same:confused: .
