Hy,
I have got a Peugeot 406 1.8 16v 1998, 75000km, ECU SAGEM
My problem:
I am starting driving normaly, and than when change a gear from first to second my car hestitate and loosing a power for abiut 1-2 sec, and go normal, and than the same beatween 2'st and 3'th gear but smaller hestitate.
If I drive normal and than press pedal to accelerate nothing happens for about 1-2 sec and than accelerate.
I' ve read a lot of forum and didn't find people with the same problem. But I've met a guy with the same problem and I try his car, and everything was the same like in my car. So I can't understand whay nobody is writting about this problem when it is often for this model.

There is no cod detect on my board, mechanical diagnostic tool didn't find any mistakes. Thay say that my clutch is OK.
Please help me you are my last hope !

I was in a similar predicament. Turned out to be a blocked split crankcase hose. This hose comes from the crankcase on the right hand side and splits into two. The bigger end goes to the throttle cover while the smaller end goes to the throttle housing below the butterfly. The blockage was at the smaller split depriving the throttle of air hence power at lower revs.
I lost faith of the garage, where I changed the cat, spark plugs, MAP sensor, the clutch was suggested next, without success.
