Check the front gearbox mount as if it's brocken the box will move back and up under take off which pulls it out of first

^^ yep, or the clutch shudder is causing the trans to move enough to also pull it out of gear, it could be worn or loose trans mount OR most commonly the clutch bowden tube without enough pre-bend. If your actually driving in first gear with the clutch all the way out, does it still jump out of gear if you go on and off the throttle?
