ARE Short Drives killing my 91 9k....??

I am a high school student and I have a few concerns about my driving routine and its wear and tear on my 91 9000s 5-speed. In the morning my drive is 2 miles to school. I try to let the car warm up for 5 mins or so, but when i drive off i notice the car has no power...and the gearbox isnt fully lubricated, causing rough shifts. I really wish my car could get highway miles. What kind of repairs should I expect with this short and harsh driving routine? I was told that the valve cover gasket tends to go with this type of driving. It was leaking at the time I purchased the car, and the previous owner had it replaced. I am running 10w-30 in the gearbox and Amsoil 10w-40 synthetic in the engine. Thanks guys.
