Mmm, surprised yours didn't work Vern...
I have a 1.8 flywheel with a 1.8 Mondeo clutch, all mated together with what I bought at the time being a Capri release bearing. Turns out to be the CCT133
Standard type 9 release arm which sits nice and doesn't clout anything...
As far as clutch slip goes, not seen any yet. With the ST engine I am prepared for either the clutch to complain or the gearbox to give up, but its all holding up well atm.
This is the same setup I had with my original 1.8 zetec and it works well on my mates MK which has had both 1.8 and 2.0 zetecs in it.
Sorry if my blog doesn't show enough, I'll never make a writer!
(or anything else come to think of it)
If in doubt ask!
LG,
Steve
