My guess is that he missed a shift, overrev'd the engine. I'm going to assume that the flywheel was a stock piece that was excessively lightened instead of an actual lightweight flywheel.

Cameron originally envisioned the Terminator as a small, unremarkable man, giving it the ability to blend in more easily. As a result, his first choice for the part was Lance Henriksen. O. J. Simpson was on the shortlist but Cameron did not think that such a nice guy could be a ruthless killer.
