AFTER TAKEOFF, WHEN FLAP HANDLE WAS MOVED FROM 5  TO 1 DEGREES, AN IMMEDIATE EICAS MESSAGE FOR TE FLAP  ASYMETERY APPEARED AND THE FLAP GUAGE STOPPED SLIGHTLY  LESS THAN 5 DEGREES WITH ASSOCIATED FLAP STOPPAGE.  REMOVED AND REPLACED THE FLAP POSITION TRANSMITTER. IAW AMM 27-58-03-4. OPS CHECKED GOOD. OK FOR SERVICE
